Ingredients

• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced (I like Campari tomatoes unless I have fresh from my garden)
• 1 packaged ball of Burrata cheese
• ½ cup quinoa, cooked
• 5-6 basil leaves, thinly sliced
• 1½ tablespoons good and fruity extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

• Layer tomato slices in a salad bowl or plate. Remove the Burrata cheese from its package and drain the water. Gently tear the cheese ball in half, reserving one half for another salad or other use (you should use the drained cheese within a day after draining.) Add the quinoa and basil leaves and drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with the kosher salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.
