Fresh Tomato Burrata Salad: A Simple Summer Delight

Serving: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the tomatoes and burrata shine brightest when served at room temperature.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, the burrata’s creamy texture is best enjoyed on the day it’s prepared.
Variants
Caprese-Inspired: Add slices of fresh mozzarella alongside the burrata for a layered cheese experience.
Citrus Twist: Replace some of the tomatoes with slices of orange or grapefruit for a sweet and tangy variation.
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes or drizzle with chili oil for a hint of heat.
