Instructions

Arrange the mixed greens or arugula on a serving plate.
Place the sliced heirloom tomatoes evenly over the greens.
Tear the burrata into large chunks and scatter them over the tomatoes.
Sprinkle fresh basil leaves across the salad.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor and texture.

Notes

For extra crunch, add toasted pine nuts or walnuts.

Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for subtle heat.

Grilled chicken or prosciutto can be added for more protein.

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors.

Best served fresh; store components separately if needed.

Substitute heirloom tomatoes with ripe cherry or vine tomatoes if unavailable.

Balsamic glaze can be replaced with balsamic vinegar if needed, though less sweet and thick.
