Tomato Summer Salad

Summer makes us think of heirloom tomatoes and burrata. There is something so simple and satisfying about cutting into thick, delicious slices of tomato and cheese, covered in basil and olive oil.

So yeah, that’s the recipe. Giant tomato, giant cheese. Olive oil. Basil. Salt. Boom, done.
Plate it up and make it pretty, then destroy it with all the relish a summer evening deserves.
