Ingredients
Marinated Tomatoes
1/2 lb (250 g) baby plum tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons very finely diced red onion
2 teaspoons finely diced fresh basil
2 teaspoons finely diced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Salad & Toast
1 ball burrata cheese (5 oz / 150 g), room temperature
1 small baguette, sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for brushing bread
1 garlic clove, peeled (optional)
Small basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Marinate the tomatoes
In a large shallow dish, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, red onion, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add the halved tomatoes and toss well to coat.
Let the flavors develop
Marinate the tomatoes for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor. If chilled, bring the tomatoes back to room temperature before serving.
Toast the bread
Arrange baguette slices on a baking tray. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Broil or grill until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
Optional garlic rub
Rub one side of each warm toast slice with the peeled garlic clove for extra flavor.
Assemble the salad
Place the burrata in the center of a serving plate. Spoon the marinated tomatoes around it and drizzle over any remaining marinade.
Finish and serve
Garnish with small basil leaves. Slice open the burrata and serve with toasted baguette slices topped with creamy burrata and marinated tomatoes.
Notes
Allowing the tomatoes to marinate longer intensifies the flavor.
Use ripe, sweet tomatoes for the best results.
Burrata should be served at room temperature for maximum creaminess.
Ciabatta or sourdough can be substituted for baguette.
This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats or seafood.
