Tomato and Olive Salad with Burrata

If there is a vegetable that defines summer it is the tomato. Memories of a biting into a fresh grown tomato with a bit of salt is one I love going back to every summer. This salad gets its salt and umami flavor from the olives and capers.

Let the tomatoes, olives and capers meld their flavors for a couple of hours before serving. I like to pull the salad out of the refrigerator a couple of hours before serving. Also a nice crack of fresh ground pepper on top of the burrata cheese is always welcome.
