Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Salad
- 3 cups assorted tomatoes (sliced or cut into wedges)
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 8 ounces burrata cheese (drained)
- Coarse or flaky sea salt for garnish
Optional
- Bread for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper until well combined to create a bright, flavorful vinaigrette.
- Arrange Salad Ingredients: On a serving plate, arrange the assorted tomatoes and fresh basil leaves evenly. Place the burrata cheese balls on top; you may either leave them whole or cut them into quarters to distribute more evenly.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared lemon and olive oil dressing over the tomatoes, basil, and burrata, ensuring everything is lightly coated for balanced flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the salad with coarse or flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by bread to complement the creamy burrata and fresh vegetables.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Burrata is best served fresh and at room temperature for optimal creaminess.
- Adjust the lemon juice and salt according to your taste preference.
- This salad is best consumed immediately to enjoy the creamy texture of the burrata before it softens too much.
- Serving with crusty bread makes a complete appetizer or light meal.
