Preparation
- Slice the tomatoes into six wedges each, and place in a large bowl. Add the basil. Drizzle with the vinegar and oil, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss the ingredients to coat. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the tomato-basil salad onto four plates. Tear or cut the burrata balls in half, taking care with the creamy filling, and nestle half into each salad. Garnish with additional basil leaves, if you like, and season with a pinch of salt and a grind or two of pepper.

Birmingham_MI_Cook | 08/07/2019This is just a simple twist on traditional caprese salad. It's so easy that my cat could make it. Looks beautiful and I used Fini balsamic. Voila! Everyone was totally impressed. I served it family-style on a large platter.
