Walnut Free Classic Tomato Burrata Salad

Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this one — ripe, jewel-toned tomatoes piled beneath clouds of fresh burrata, finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a scatter of torn basil. The combination of creamy, milky cheese against acidic, juicy tomatoes is one of those flavor pairings that feels almost too good to be this simple. Letting the burrata come to room temperature before serving is the small but crucial step that makes the creamy interior spill out beautifully the moment you tear it open. A generous pour of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, while the optional red pepper flakes add just enough heat to keep things interesting. Tree nut allergies can make restaurant salads a gamble, since dressings and toppings often sneak in crushed walnuts without much warning — but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. This is the kind of dish you assemble rather than cook, which means it comes together in minutes and looks genuinely stunning on a platter. Serve it immediately while the tomatoes are still at their peak and the burrata is soft and lush.
