Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad
It’s summer so you know what that means—the glorious season of juicy, sun-kissed tomatoes is upon us! From deep reds to sunny yellows, heirloom tomatoes are like a rainbow on your plate. Now let’s talk burrata. Each ball is a pouch of fresh mozzarella filled with a creamy, velvety centre. Find it in the good cheese section at the grocery store.
