When tomatoes are at their peak, this salad is one of the most satisfying things you can put on a table — and it comes together with almost no effort. Ripe mixed tomatoes, fresh burrata, good olive oil, balsamic glaze, and a handful of torn basil are all you need, and every single one of those ingredients is exactly what it sounds like with nothing hidden inside. That matters more than people realize, because artificial flavors have a way of sneaking into bottled dressings, flavored vinegars, and even some packaged cheeses under vague labeling. Here, you're building the flavor yourself from real, whole ingredients, so there's no guesswork. The trick of letting the burrata come to room temperature before tearing it open is a small step that makes a huge difference — the creamy interior spills out beautifully and coats the tomatoes in a way that feels almost indulgent. A drizzle of balsamic glaze and a pinch of flaky sea salt tie everything together with that perfect sweet-savory balance. It's the kind of dish that looks like you spent a lot more time on it than you actually did.

Remove the burrata from its liquid and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling — cold burrata will not spread or release its cream properly.
Arrange the sliced and halved tomatoes across a large serving platter in a single, slightly overlapping layer. Season the tomatoes with 1/4 tsp of the flaky sea salt and the black pepper.
