This heirloom tomato saladrecipeis a continuing series we’re sharing for Summer on our favorite heirloom tomatoes that we’re growing. And we have a delicious recipe included too! You can visit all our tomato recipes on our tomato page.
Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe
If you not familiar with burrata cheese yet, then you’re in for a treat. And if you’re not familiar with Dr. Wyches heirloom tomatoes then you’re in for another treat. This post is going to be a double whammy of joy, so hold on tight.
Burrata? what is it? have you had it? if not, then you must run out and treat to yourself to one of the most decadent cheese in the world. Burrata is an Italian cheese that’s fresh, soft, creamy, decadant and made of mozerella and cream. Can cheese get any better than that? It’s so soft, but thankfully the outside shell is made from mozzerella to hold in all the creamy goodness. Inside, you’ll find a rich, beautifully creamy and buttery texture cheese that is so delicious, it’s hard to stop eating it.
When added to fresh heirloom tomatoes, some good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs and kissed with salt and pepper, this could possibly be one of the worlds most perfect salads. Every time we serve this salad to anyone who has never had burrata before, their eyes light up and you can practically hear a silent “omg” behind their mouthfull of goodness. It only takes a few beautiful ingredients to make a dish wonderful. This tomato salad recipe defines simplicity, elegance and joy on a plate.
Dr. Wyche’s Heirloom Tomatoes
We normally serve the tomato and burrata salad with some grilled bread, making it very bruschetta-like. But this salad by itself is Summer happiness, so keep it simple if you want.
Second on our agenda is a discussion of Dr. Wyche’s heirloom tomatoes. These tomatoes are so amazing, they’re probably one of our favorite heirlooms. Dr. Wyche’s tomatoes are super meaty, juicy, silky and incredible. This is our second year growing them and we found them at our local Tomania event. If you’re an avid heirloom tomato gardener, please try growing them because they’re so wonderful. We’ve been incredibly happy with them and so have our friends that we’ve passed them on to.
So combined with one of our favorite yellow tomatoes, fresh basil and creamy burrata, we had a wonderful lunch on a warm Summer day. This meal couldn’t be any more simple and perfect.
hugs,

GORGEOUS tomatoes! I can’t ever find heirlooms where I live. I had them once when I was in California and it was like tasting a tomato for the first time. This recipe looks awesome.

I love the combination of burrata with tomates, it’s such a beautiful tasty summer dish. When I went to Puglia for a summer trip, I was lucky to find a cheese store that sold fresh burrata and showed me how they make it. They then wrapped it in some green leaves that released a light pungent flavor, for me to eat straight away. What an experience!
