Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs ripe heirloom tomatoes see notes
  • 2 ripe yellow nectarines see notes
  • 8 oz burrata
  • handful of fresh basil leaves
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste (see notes)
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar to taste

Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes and nectarines into wedges. Arrange on a platter or in a large bowl.
  • Nestle the ball(s) of burrata into the tomatoes and nectarines.
  • Scatter fresh basil over the top and add salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. I used a variety of heirloom tomatoes, ranging from cherry tomato-sized to medium-sized chocolate tomatoes. Use whatever you like/have on hand.
  2. You could use white nectarines here, if that's what you have or prefer. I'm a yellow nectarine kinda gal.
  3. Now is not the time to skimp on seasoning, especially kosher salt. Trust.
