Ingredients
  

4 medium heirloom tomatoes in a rainbow of colors (red, yellow, green)

1 ball of fresh burrata cheese

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces

2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted until golden

Optional: Flaky sea salt for a finishing touch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tomatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and drying the heirloom tomatoes. Slice them into wedges or thick rounds, according to your preference. For a stunning presentation, artfully arrange them on a large serving platter or divide them among individual plates.

    Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and honey. Whisk these ingredients together until fully blended. Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, balancing the flavors to your liking.

      Add the Burrata: Carefully tear the burrata into large, luscious pieces, and strategically place them atop the arranged heirloom tomatoes. This allows the creamy, dreamy insides of the burrata to meld beautifully with the tomatoes.

        Dress the Salad: Generously drizzle the prepared dressing over the tomatoes and burrata, ensuring an even coverage. A gentle wrist pivot while drizzling will help achieve this.

          Finish with Herbs and Nuts: Scatter the torn basil leaves over the salad for a pop of freshness, followed by the toasted pine nuts, which will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.

            Serve: For an extra layer of flavor, finish the dish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve the salad immediately to enjoy its vibrant colors and rich flavors!
