Few dishes feel as effortlessly satisfying as ripe, juicy tomatoes paired with something rich and creamy, and this salad delivers exactly that. The star move here is tearing the burrata open so its lush, milky interior spills across the tomatoes — it turns a simple platter into something that looks genuinely stunning. Fresh burrata made from pasteurized milk is the key ingredient that makes this work during pregnancy, since it skips the soft-cheese concerns that come with unpasteurized varieties. Heirloom and cherry tomatoes bring natural sweetness and a pop of color, while the balsamic glaze adds just enough tang to balance all that richness. A handful of torn basil and a drizzle of good olive oil round everything out without any fuss. This is the kind of recipe that comes together in minutes but tastes like you put in serious effort — perfect for a light lunch, a dinner party starter, or an honest craving that needs satisfying fast.

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.
