Caffeine Free Burrata Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
This stunning summer salad is everything you want on a warm evening — juicy heirloom tomatoes in a riot of colors, creamy torn burrata, and a bright lemon-olive oil dressing that ties it all together. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, just a little slicing, tearing, and drizzling. A scatter of fresh basil and optional pine nuts adds texture and fragrance that makes the platter look like it came straight out of a restaurant kitchen. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — this one just works as written. The lemon zest and crushed red pepper flakes give the dressing a subtle kick that keeps the richness of the burrata perfectly in check. Serve it immediately so the cheese stays lush and the tomatoes hold their texture, and don't be shy with the flaky sea salt — it really makes the flavors sing.
