- Flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Slice Tomatoes: Slice the heirloom tomatoes into approximately â…“-inch thick slices and arrange them neatly onto your serving dish, creating a colorful and vibrant base.
- Add Burrata Cheese: Place the burrata cheese on the serving dish either whole or broken into pieces scattered around the tomatoes to enhance the creamy texture throughout the salad.

Notes
- Use ripe heirloom tomatoes for the best flavor and vibrant colors.
- Burrata can be served whole or torn for a different texture experience.
- Balsamic glaze provides a sweeter finish; if unavailable, aged balsamic vinegar works well but is less syrupy.
- Adjust seasoning with flaky sea salt to your taste for optimum flavor balance.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.
