Key Ingredient Notes:

Fresh tomatoes: Even though you can make this salad with only strawberries, I think you really need fresh heirloom tomatoes to balance out the sweetness and add some juicy tartness to the dish. You can also use cherry tomatoes.
Fresh strawberries: I highly recommend making this salad when your local sweet strawberries are in season!
Burrata: The ball of Burrata cheese is the star of the show, with its gooey and rich center. If you can’t get your hands on burrata, you can make this recipe with buffalo mozzarella cheese.
