1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Salt, to taste

On a large plate or serving platter, layer the sliced tomatoes evenly. Allow them to overlap slightly for a beautiful presentation.
Gently place the burrata cheese in the center of the tomatoes. Use a spoon to break it open slightly, allowing the creamy interior to ooze out.
Scatter the fresh basil leaves around the tomatoes and burrata.
Generously drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad.
Finish the salad by sprinkling salt and pepper to taste. If desired, drizzle a bit of balsamic vinegar.
Enjoy your Tomato Burrata Salad right away for the freshest taste.
