Instructions

With a serrated knife, cut the tomatoes into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange them on a large serving platter, overlapping their edges and varying the shapes as best you can.
Cut the burrata or mozzarella into ¼-inch to ½-inch slices. Tuck the cheese around and underneath the tomatoes, dispersing it relatively evenly across the platter.
Sprinkle basil leaves all over, and tuck a few more into the crevices. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Burrata is tricky to cut since the inside is so creamy. For easier cutting, cut into ½-inch slices and gently tug the slices into smaller sections. For the best flavor, let the salad rest for 30 minutes so the tomatoes release juices and the flavors mingle. This salad is best served within a few hours. Leftovers will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
