Celebrate summer with this fresh tomato salad that takes just four ingredients and comes together in five minutes! Oh, and the burrata is a heavenly touch.
My biggest cooking philosophy is to keep dishes simple and use high-quality ingredients. I love letting the ingredients shine and that’s why this simple tomato salad epitomizes my philosophy. With just four ingredients — fresh tomatoes, basil, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and burrata — this dish is so simple but eats like an appetizer from a bougie restaurant. BTW, the burrata is so creamy and decadent that it helps take this salad to a whole new level.
Since summer is tomato season, you can easily find super juicy and sweet tomatoes at most grocery stores and farmers’ markets. I find heirloom tomatoes the best to use for this recipe because of their unique sweetness and tenderness. Also, be sure to use good-quality, fruity EVOO and flaky sea salt for the finishing touches — it makes a world of difference!
