Tomato Burrata Salad

Jump to Recipe

The best Tomato Burrata Salad, made with fresh Burrata cheese, heirloom tomatoes and dressed with pesto, extra version olive oil and basil.

If I am being honest, making this salad is so easy that it literary takes five minutes to prepare, and I am not really sure if it qualifies for a recipe on its own.

Aside from cutting the tomatoes, arranging everything on a plate, and adding some lemon zest, there is hardly any work left here but to drizzle good quality olive oil and garnish with fresh basil, and you are done!

I add some pesto sauce because I like how it compliments the salad and gives it a bright color and a refreshing taste.

Burrata

Burrata is a soft creamy cheese that has a delicate and balanced taste.
You can have Burrata cheese with almost any kind of greens or fruits.

Tear the cheese balls into pieces and add them to your homemade pizzas, pastas and salads.

Burrata also pairs well with summer berries and fruits.

Have it with a cracker, warm slices of baguette or a slice of toasted wholegrain bread.
