    • 3 tsp red wine vinegar
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Method:

    1. Slice the tomatoes and place them onto a serving dish.
    2. Tear or cut burrata into bite-size pieces and scatter over tomatoes.
    3. Add basil leaves on top.
    4. Whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar and drizzle over the top.
