Ingredients

3 large heirloom tomatoes (heirloom tomatoes vary in size, use more small tomatoes if needed)
4 balls burrata cheese
½ cup fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¾ tsp flaky sea salt (Maldon etc)
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp dried oregano leaves (optional)
1 tbsp parsley or microgreens (optional)

Instructions

Wash and slice the fresh tomatoes into half-moon slices. Arrange the slices around the edges of salad plates or a serving platter.
Center a burrata cheese ball on each plate and add the basil leaves, tucking them between tomato slices.
Drizzle each plate with olive oil, and sprinkle the cheese and tomatoes with the seasonings.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Nutritional information provided is an estimate, and will vary based on how large your tomatoes and burrata balls are, what variety of tomatoes you use, and what other greens or garnishes you include. These calculations assume fresh parsley is added, and that coarse sea salt is used instead of flaky.
