Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice 2 large ripe tomatoes into thick rounds and overlap them on a serving platter.

    Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 tsp salt and let sit 5 minutes, until juices bead on the plate.

  3. Step 3

    Halve and pit 1 avocado, slice the flesh, and tuck the slices between the tomatoes.

  4. Step 4

    Tear the 8 oz burrata into rustic pieces and scatter them evenly over the salad.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter a handful of basil leaves (and microgreens if you have them) over the top, then drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and serve right away.
