Chestnut Free Burrata Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes

Ripe, jewel-toned heirloom tomatoes and pillowy burrata are a combination that practically sells itself, and this platter delivers all of that beauty with almost zero effort. The lemon-olive oil dressing — brightened with a little zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes — ties everything together in a way that feels far more sophisticated than the ingredient list suggests. Torn basil adds a fragrant, summery finish, and optional pine nuts bring just enough crunch to keep things interesting. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, it's worth noting that chestnuts belong to an entirely different botanical family than pine nuts, so this recipe stays well clear of that territory — and you can simply skip the pine nuts altogether if you prefer to keep the dish completely nut-free. Every other component here is naturally straightforward: fresh tomatoes, good olive oil, lemon, and quality cheese. Serve it the moment it's assembled so the burrata stays creamy and the tomatoes hold their texture, and don't be shy with the flaky salt — it makes the whole platter sing.
