Burrata (a fresh Italian cheese similar to mozzarella but with a creamy center) is a luscious addition to this updated Caprese salad. If you can’t find it, use fresh mozzarella.

Ingredients

12 oz. burrata, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 medium ripe beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large basil leaves, torn into pieces
4 tsp. tapenade (store bought or homemade)
1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

We made this salad tonight. It was as delicious as it was beautiful. We used homemade tapenade also from FC. Fantastic dish that we will make often.
