For the Salad

For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances the natural sweetness of tomatoes.
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Freshly ground is best for flavor.
Optional Serving Suggestions
  • 2 slices Grilled Bread Perfect for sopping up cheese and pesto.
  • ¼ cup Fresh Basil Finely chopped adds extra herb flavor.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Burrata Caprese Salad
  1. Start by slicing larger heirloom tomatoes into ¼-inch thick planks, while halving or quartering smaller tomatoes for variety. Arrange the vibrant tomato slices on a serving platter.
  2. Generously sprinkle the arranged heirloom tomatoes with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to enhance their natural sweetness. Let the tomatoes sit for a moment to absorb these flavors.
  3. Gently nestle the drained and patted-dry burrata cheese pieces among the seasoned tomatoes. Carefully break the burrata to expose its creamy interior.
  4. Once your salad is beautifully assembled, pour the desired amount of basil pesto over the top. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
