Heirloom Tossed Salad
Greatly refreshing and full of flavor, this recipe is a perfect one for a quick lunch or dinner side this summer. Pull the tomatoes fresh from your garden, or find some ripe ones at the market.
Ingredients:
- Heirloom cherry tomatoes - 1 pint
- Fresh Basil - 10 leaves
- Olive oil - approximately 2 tablespoons
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Half your heirloom cherry tomatoes, or if you are using bigger heirloom tomatoes, cut into one inch cubes. Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.
Toss together in a bowl with olive oil.
Top with a ball of fresh burrata cheese. Add a cut to the top of the cheese, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy!
