Perhaps the most decadent summer salad ever. Sweet tomatoes, avocado, ooey-gooey burrata, fresh herbs, and a simple tangy lemon vinaigrette come together to create perfect harmony. This is as tasty as it is beautiful and will definitely impress your dinner guests.
INGREDIENTS:
2 - Large Heirloom (or vine-ripe) tomatoes
2 - Large Avocados
1-1/2 - Lemons, halved and juiced
1/4 cup - Extra Virgin Olive Oil (plus extra for garnish)
1 Tbsp - Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp - Sea Salt
1/2 tsp - Fresh-cracked Black pepper (plus extra for garnish)
1/3 cup (1/2 oz) - Fresh Basil, stems removed (Plus extra for garnish)
8 oz. - Fresh Burrata Cheese
Fresh Dill for garnish
Maldon Flaky Salt (I prefer the Smoked) for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Thinly slice the tomatoes and avocados. Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon on top of the avocado slices to prevent them from browning.
Make the vinaigrette: In a food processor, add the olive oil, juice of one lemon, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and basil leaves. Blend on high until smooth.
On a large plate, later the tomato and avocado slices. Then top with large pieces of the gooey burrata. Drizzle the top with the dressing as well as an extra drizzle of olive oil. Add some cracked pepper on top, and garnish with the flaky salt, fresh dill, and basil leaves.
