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.

  • 1 tbsp Marinara Sauce Mix

  2. In a large bowl, add tomatoes (including the juices), sauce mix, and olive oil; gently toss to combine.
