Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz ball of burrata cheese
  • ¼ cup basil leaves chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more to taste
  • flaky sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Let ingredients come to room temperature.
  • Slice cherry tomatoes in half and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a big pinch of flaky salt. Toss tomatoes together with about ¾ of the chiffonade basil leaves.
  • Transfer tomatoes and basil to a serving platter. Tear burrata ball into several pieces and arrange on top of tomatoes. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with flaky salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Burrata cheese is best consumed immediately and leftovers will not keep well in the fridge.
