Ingredients
  

4 medium heirloom tomatoes, assorted colors (red, yellow, green)

1 ball of fresh burrata cheese

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

Optional: Flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tomatoes: Wash and dry the heirloom tomatoes. Cut them into wedges or thick slices, depending on your preference. Arrange them on a large serving platter or individual plates for a beautiful presentation.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

      Add the Burrata: Tear the burrata into large pieces and place them strategically over the heirloom tomatoes. This will allow the creamy goodness to seep into the salad.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing generously over the tomatoes and burrata. Make sure to pivot your wrist for even coverage.

          Finish with Herbs and Nuts: Sprinkle the torn basil leaves over the salad, followed by the toasted pine nuts for added crunch.

            Serve: Optionally, add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant colors and rich flavors!
