This simple tomato burrata salad makes the most of juicy tomatoes at the peak of season. Toss ripe tomatoes with a classic vinaigrette, thinly sliced red onion, and a shower of fresh basil and parsley serve it with fresh burrata. You’ll want to have it on repeat all summer long.
In a medium bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, finely chopped red onion, chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Add the halved baby plum tomatoes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade.
Let the tomatoes marinate at room temperature for at least 15-30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
While the tomatoes are marinating, slice the ciabatta into slices.
Arrange the slices on a grill pan and toast them on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy.
Place the marinated tomatoes on a serving platter around the ball of burrata.
Garnish with additional fresh basil.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of the marinated tomatoes and creamy burrata paired with the crunchy baguette.
Notes
Proper Marination: Let the tomatoes marinate for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavors and enhance their taste.Balancing Flavors: Taste the marinade before adding the tomatoes to ensure the right balance of acidity, saltiness, and herbs. Adjust if needed.Serving Temperature: Serve the salad at room temperature. Cold burrata can lose its creaminess, and room-temperature tomatoes taste better.
