Insalata caprese con burrata

Ingredienti

• 1 1/2 pounds (675g) tomatoes, preferably Heirloom tomatoes or other good quality sweet summer tomatoes
• 7 ounces (200g) burrata cheese
• 1 twig basil leaves (about 10 leaves)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• flaky sea salt (coarse salt)
• freshly ground coarse black pepper
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• lemon juice (to taste, about 2 teaspoons)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature (tomatoes have a better texture and the burrata will be more creamy).

2. 2

   Cut the tomatoes into wedges and arrange them on a large plate.

3. 3

   Place the burrata ball in the middle or tear the burrata into smaller pieces and arrange it between tomatoes.

4. 4

   Sprinkle with basil leaves (I like to leave smaller leaves whole and slice larger leaves).

5. 5

   Drizzle the salad with olive oil.

6. 6

   Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Cook the balsamic vinegar in a small pot until slightly thickened. Drizzle the salad with the glaze.

8. 8

   Drizzle with lemon juice to taste.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
