Caprese Salad with Burrata Cheese

I love Caprese Salad in the summertime when the Heirloom tomatoes are plentiful at the grocery store. Quick and easy to throw together for guests, this is the perfect meal starter for a warm summer evening.


Ingredients:
Heirloom tomatoes in a variety of colors
Burrata cheese (or fresh buffalo mozzarella)
A handful of fresh basil
A great olive oil
Aged Balsamic vinegar (I like to use a 10-year)
Sea salt and pepper

Directions:
1. Slice the tomatoes and cheese into 1/2-inch rounds
2. Alternate the stack with: tomato, basil, cheese, a splash of olive oil, a splash of Balsamic, salt and pepper...tomato, basil, cheese, olive oil, Balsamic, salt and pepper, etc. until you have your desire serving size. That's it!
