Instructions

Pull the burrata cheese out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before you begin so it reaches room temperature.
Wash the tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh figs thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
Slice the tomatoes into thick wedges and cut the cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces.
2 Tomatoes, 1 Persian Cucumber
Cut each fresh fig into four even quarters starting from the stem down to the base.
4 fresh Mission Figs
Arrange the tomato wedges and cucumber pieces evenly around the outer edges of a wide serving bowl.
Place the whole ball of burrata cheese directly into the center of your arranged vegetables.
1 large ball Burrata Cheese
Nestle the fig quarters into the gaps between the tomatoes and cucumbers all around the plate.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and white balsamic vinegar over the entire salad.
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tablespoon White Balsamic Vinegar
Use your fingers to gently tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the top.
6 fresh Basil Leaves
Finish the dish with a drizzle of thick balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of sea salt right before serving.
1 tablespoon Balsamic Glaze, 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt

Notes

For the best presentation, slice your ingredients with a very sharp knife so they retain their shapes perfectly on the serving platter.
