• 1 cup arugula

Cucumber Herb Dressing

• 2 mini cucumbers

• Juice of 1/2 lime

How To Make Heirloom Tomato Salad​

1. Prepare the Platter: Shingle the sliced heirloom tomatoes along one side of a large, round platter.
2. Mix Cherry Tomatoes: In a bowl, toss the heirloom cherry tomatoes with chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Place this mixture next to the sliced tomatoes on the platter.
3. Add Arugula: Toss the arugula with 1 tablespoon of the Cucumber Herb Dressing. Place the arugula in the center of the platter.
4. Add Burrata and Garnishes: Drizzle a bit of the dressing onto the open space on the platter, then place the burrata on top. Sprinkle the burrata with salt, pepper, and drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Garnish with thinly sliced shallots, chopped chives, and microgreens.

Recipe Tips

• Choose Ripe Tomatoes: For the best flavor, pick ripe, colorful heirloom tomatoes. They add sweetness and vibrant color that make this salad special.
• Serve Burrata at Room Temperature: Allow the burrata to sit out for a few minutes before serving. This makes it creamier and easier to slice.
• Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley, cilantro, and chives bring the dressing to life. Avoid dried herbs, as they won’t have the same flavor.
• Don’t Skip the Cucumber Juice: Grating and straining the cucumbers gives the dressing a light, refreshing flavor. It’s worth the extra step!
• Add Dressing Just Before Serving: Toss the salad with dressing right before serving to keep the greens fresh and crisp.
