Pistachio Free Burrata Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
Few dishes feel as effortlessly stunning as a platter of jewel-toned heirloom tomatoes draped in creamy, cloud-like burrata. The combination of sweet, acidic tomatoes and rich, milky cheese is one of those pairings that just works every single time. A bright lemon-olive oil dressing with a whisper of red pepper flakes ties everything together, adding just enough zip to keep each bite lively. Torn fresh basil scattered across the top brings a fragrant, summery finish that makes the whole platter look like something out of a restaurant kitchen. For anyone navigating tree nut restrictions, this recipe is naturally built around fresh produce and dairy — the optional pine nuts are easy to skip entirely without losing anything essential to the dish. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, which means less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying a genuinely gorgeous plate of food. Serve it as a starter, a light lunch, or a showstopping side at your next gathering.
