This is one of my favorite summer dishes to throw together when tomatoes are at their peak. The combination of creamy burrata with juicy tomatoes and a punchy chilli oil dressing feels like a restaurant quality meal, but honestly, it comes together in under 40 minutes with minimal effort. The beauty of this salad is that it's genuinely good for you too, especially with the lycopene in the tomatoes which is brilliant for heart health. Plus, if you've got fresh Thai basil on hand, you're basically done. It's elegant enough for guests but simple enough for a solo lunch.
