METHOD
- Wash and roughly cut the heirloom tomatoes into large chunky pieces, don’t be afraid to make them mismatched. Wash and half the cherry tomatoes.
- Lay in the bottom of a dish and begin layering with the broken burrata or halved mozzarella balls.
- Dressing – in a bowl combine ½ c of good quality olive oil, a good bunch of fresh basil leaves (personal preference on how pungent you want it) 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of caster sugar, pepper to taste. – using a stick blender or a food processor blend this all together until the basil is well macerated.
