Heirloom Tomato Burrata Salad
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 4-5 servings 1x
- Category: Salads, Tomatoes, Vegetarian, Recipes
Ingredients
- 1 head green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
- 2 large homegrown heirloom tomatoes, washed and sliced
- 8oz (1/2 pint) BelGioioso burrata (contains 2 balls)
- Balsamic vinegar of Modena (about 1/8-1/4 cup)
- Extra virgin olive oil (about 1/8-1/4 cup)
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
- Fresh basil sprig
Instructions
1. Rinse, dry and roughly chop lettuce, tossing into a shallow, round serving bowl. Thickly slice heirloom tomatoes into wedges, and place slices in a ring around the rim of the bowl atop the lettuce.
2. Wipe away any tomato juice or seeds from your cutting board before proceeding. Slice each ball of burrata in half and, using the flat end of the knife to keep the cream filling inside, flip each half so that it is facing upwards. Place the cheese halves in the center of the tomato ring in a serving dish (or individual salad plates if not serving from one dish).
3. Salt and pepper the salad and then generously drizzle the vinegar first, followed by the olive oil. Place a small sprig of fresh basil on the burrata and enjoy. Mangia!
Notes
- Using heirloom tomatoes of different colors make this a really beautiful dish.
- You can easily make this salad in either individual bowls or one large shared one. I recommend putting one half a burrata per individual salad.
