Sesame Free Classic Tomato Burrata Salad

Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this one — ripe, jewel-toned tomatoes piled beneath torn burrata that spills its lush, creamy interior across the whole platter. The combination of heirloom and cherry tomatoes brings a range of sweetness and acidity that makes every bite a little different. Letting the burrata come to room temperature before serving is the kind of small step that makes a huge difference, coaxing out that signature silky pour you want coating the tomatoes. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze add richness and a subtle tang, while torn fresh basil and optional red pepper flakes keep things bright and lively. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of sesame — no tahini, no sesame oil, no hidden seeds lurking in a dressing — so you can build this showstopper without a second thought about cross-contact. It comes together with almost no effort and looks stunning enough to anchor a dinner party spread or a lazy weekend lunch. Serve it the moment it's assembled and let those gorgeous ingredients do all the talking.
