Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing your heirloom and cherry tomatoes under cool running water. Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  2. Carefully arrange the sliced heirloom and halved cherry tomatoes artistically on a platter.
  3. Gently place the creamy burrata cheese in the center of the arranged tomatoes, breaking it open to let its interior ooze out.
  4. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the salad, followed by balsamic vinegar.
  5. Sprinkle salt and pepper, then scatter torn basil leaves over the top.
  6. Serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread for dipping.
