Few dishes capture the pure pleasure of summer produce the way a well-made tomato and burrata salad does. Ripe heirloom and cherry tomatoes bring natural sweetness and acidity that need almost no help, while fresh burrata โ torn open so its creamy interior spills across the platter โ turns a simple arrangement into something genuinely stunning. The whole thing comes together with extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, flaky sea salt, and torn basil, meaning every single ingredient is exactly what it says it is โ no hidden sweeteners, no processed additives to second-guess. That matters more than it sounds, because balsamic-style condiments and store-bought dressings are common places where high fructose corn syrup quietly sneaks in. Here, you control every drop that goes on the plate. Letting the burrata come to room temperature before tearing it open is the one technique worth following closely โ cold cheese won't release that luscious cream the way it should. Serve it immediately straight from the platter and watch it disappear.

Remove the burrata from its liquid and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling โ 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.
