Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad
The simplest possible showcase for heirloom tomatoes at their absolute peak. Tear burrata over sliced tomatoes, drizzle generously with olive oil, scatter basil and flaky salt. That's the whole recipe.
Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- heirloom tomatoes (4-5, mixed variety)
- fresh basil (large handful)
🛒 From the Store
- burrata (2 balls)
- extra-virgin olive oil
- flaky sea salt
- black pepper
- balsamic glaze optional
How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: heirloom tomatoes (4-5, mixed variety), fresh basil (large handful), burrata (2 balls), extra-virgin olive oil, flaky sea salt, and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: heirloom tomatoes (4-5, mixed variety), fresh basil (large handful).
- Let tomatoes sit at room temperature — cold kills their flavor. And under-salt at your peril. Tomatoes need more salt than you think; taste and add in increments until they taste alive.
- Cook for approximately 10 min. Adjust to taste and serve 4 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
