Instructions:

• Start by washing your beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes under cold water. For the larger tomatoes, slice them into thick rounds, about half an inch thick. For the cherry tomatoes, simply halve them.
• On a serving platter, start by laying out the slices of beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes. Make sure to arrange them in a circular pattern for an attractive presentation.
• Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the larger tomato slices. The colorful cherry tomatoes will add brightness and a pop of color.
• Gently pull apart the burrata cheese and place it in the center of your tomato arrangement. The creamy interior should be visible, inviting your guests to dig in.
• Evenly sprinkle the flaky salt over the entire salad. Then, drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and burrata, allowing it to enhance the flavors.
• Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and scatter them over the salad. This will release their fragrant oils, elevating the dish's aroma.
• If you choose to use balsamic glaze, drizzle it lightly over the salad for an additional layer of flavor. This step is optional but highly recommended for those who enjoy a hint of sweetness.
