burrata cheese

🥗Healthier: fresh mozzarella

Fresh mozzarella is lower in calories and ricotta is more affordable.

balsamic vinegar

Red wine vinegar adds a similar tang, while apple cider vinegar is often less expensive.

Trim endive into quarters and slice in half.

Core the heirloom tomatoes by inserting a knife at an angle and slicing around the core.

Slice the tomatoes into halves and then into quarters, or cut into different shapes as desired.

Slice chives into thin pieces.

Slice basil using a rocking motion with a sharp knife.

Slice shallots thinly.

Combine the tomatoes, a splash of red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, chopped basil, shallots, chives, and endive in a mixing bowl.

Season the mixture with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Gently toss the ingredients together.

Let the salad sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to marinate.

Plate the tomatoes creatively, arranging them sporadically on the plate.

Top the salad with pieces of burrata cheese, ripping it into smaller pieces as needed.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, scattering them over the salad.

Finish with additional seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil.
