Low Sugar Burrata Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
Ripe heirloom tomatoes and creamy burrata are a match made in summer heaven, and this platter comes together in minutes with nothing more than a quick whisk and a little artful arranging. Every ingredient here is naturally free of added sugar — the sweetness you taste comes entirely from the tomatoes themselves, which is exactly how it should be. A bright lemon-olive oil dressing with a hint of red pepper flakes ties everything together, cutting through the richness of the burrata without any sweeteners in sight. Torn basil and optional pine nuts add freshness and a gentle nuttiness that make the whole dish feel effortlessly complete. It's the kind of recipe that looks like it came from a restaurant but asks almost nothing of you in the kitchen. Serve it immediately so the burrata stays lush and the tomatoes hold their texture — this one is best eaten the moment it hits the table.
