Burrata and Tomato Salad with Avocado
Description
This salad layers quartered campari tomatoes with sliced avocado and slivered red onion, topped with torn burrata cheese which offers a creamy and soft texture contrasting the fresh, firm vegetables. Fresh basil leaves add herbal brightness. The dressing is a simple drizzle of high-quality fruity extra virgin olive oil and a splash of champagne vinegar to provide acidity. Salt and freshly ground black pepper season to taste.
The olive oil is emphasized as a key flavor contributor, needing to be fruity to complement the freshness of the ingredients. The burrata’s smooth, creamy interior contrasts with the crispness of tomatoes and bite of onion. The interplay of textures and mild acidity creates a well-rounded salad experience.
