Easy Tomato Burrata Salad
This fresh tomato burrata salad is made with fresh cherry tomatoes that are marinated in garlic, and balsamic vinegar, and is topped with a ball of burrata cheese that is drizzled with pesto and served with toasted bread.
Ingredients
- 450 g Cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup Basil chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced or sliced
- 170 g Burrata one large burrata or two small ones
- 2 tablespoon Basil pesto
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice your cherry tomatoes into half, and throw them into a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped basil, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Mix using a spoon until well combined. Let the tomatoes marinate in the bowl while you make the crostini. (for about 15 minutes)
- Make the crostini by slicing french bread or a baguette diagonally into ½-inch thick slices. Lay the slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil and rub fresh garlic on each slice. (do that on both sides of the toast)
- Bake the bread toast in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 5-7 minutes.
- Arrange the tomatoes on a large plate, and top the middle of the potatoes with the burrata cheese. Garnish the tomatoes and burrata with pesto. Season the burrata with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Gently cut the burrata and tear it apart. Spread the bite-size pieces on top of the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with the crostini or toasted bread!
