Caprese salad is one of summer's best dishes. As temperatures rise, we welcome this Italian classic with its alternating slices of soft mozzarella and garden tomatoes garnished with a few basil leaves. Change the presentation with creamy burrata nestled in fresh tomato puree. Adorn with a selection of juicy heirloom cherry tomatoes, fruity olive oil, and fragrant basil. Cracked black pepper on top finishes this marvelous adaptation. Serve as a main dish. Luscious!

Drain each burrata. In each serving bowl, ladle a few spoonfuls of tomato puree, then arrange cherry tomatoes in a decorative pattern.

Enjoy the delectable essence of summertime in each bite of creamy Burrata Caprese!
