Notes
- For presentation, I like to serve with whole burrata balls, as well as torn burrata.
- Find tomatoes that are ripe, juicy, and vibrant in color.
- Making ahead is NOT recommended. This salad is best when served fresh.
- How to toast baguette slices: Brush the bread slices with olive oil and toast on a hot skillet on each side until golden brown.
- Heirloom tomatoes: Regular tomatoes.
- Basil vinaigrette: Balsamic vinaigrette or store-bought balsamic glaze.
