Hazelnut Free Classic Tomato Burrata Salad

Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this one — ripe, jewel-toned tomatoes piled beneath pillowy burrata that spills its creamy interior the moment you tear it open. The combination of heirloom and cherry tomatoes brings a range of sweetness and acidity, while the balsamic glaze adds a rich, tangy thread that ties everything together. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, a scatter of torn fresh basil, and a pinch of flaky sea salt are all it takes to make something that looks genuinely stunning on a platter. Letting the burrata come to room temperature before serving is a small but crucial step — it ensures that lush, milky cream flows out properly rather than sitting stiff and cold. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of any nut-based ingredients, relying entirely on fresh produce, quality cheese, and pantry staples you can easily verify. There's no complicated technique here, just smart ingredient choices and good timing. It's the kind of dish that disappears fast, so consider doubling the tomatoes if you're feeding a crowd.
