Notes
Choose good quality ingredients: Ensure you choose the best quality tomatoes and burrata, since those are the main ingredients. Your salad will be truly delicious that way!
Allow ample marinating time: The tomatoes should be marinated overnight if you have time, or for at least half an hour if not, to soak up the wonderful marinade flavors.
Leave the burrata cheese whole: Don't cut the cheese into pieces - leave it whole. That way, the creaminess oozes out when it's cut into, and that's a much prettier way to serve it. Burrata cheese isn't supposed to be cut into bite sized pieces before serving.
