High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Burrata Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
Ripe heirloom tomatoes and creamy burrata are a match made in summer heaven, and this salad lets both ingredients shine without anything getting in the way. Every component here is completely whole and unprocessed — fresh tomatoes, real cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon, basil — so there's zero risk of sneaky sweeteners hiding in the dressing or anywhere else on the plate. That's the quiet genius of building a dish from scratch with ingredients you can actually read and recognize. The lemon-olive oil vinaigrette comes together in seconds and delivers a bright, slightly spicy kick that makes store-bought dressings feel completely unnecessary. Tearing the burrata into soft, pillowy pieces and nestling them among the tomatoes creates a gorgeous platter that looks like it came from a restaurant kitchen. A scatter of torn basil and optional pine nuts finishes everything off with freshness and a gentle crunch. It's the kind of dish that disappears fast, so don't be surprised if you're making it again before the week is out.
