Notes
Use the freshest, most flavorful tomatoes possible for this recipe, preferably fresh from the garden, farmers market, or heirloom tomatoes. Any variety will work ... I used a combination of regular tomatoes, plus cherry and grape tomatoes.
For the best flavor, drain the burrata (and pat dry), then let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before assembling the salad.
This recipe is the perfect excuse to break out your fancy olive oil and special salt. I like to use Maldon sea salt (although kosher salt also works). If you do use Maldon, crush it with your fingers as you sprinkle it over the salad.
