The Simple Summer Stunner Salad

Directions

• Very thinly slice one small red onion on a mandoline. Put it in a small bowl, add 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp honey and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside while prepping rest of the salad
• On a large serving platter scatter the halved tomatoes, sliced plums and banana peppers. Scatter the marinated onions with some of the liquid, don’t overdo it with the liqquid. Leave a little, you can always add more if you need it later
• Gently tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and scatter them over the tomato and plum slices on the platter.
• Season the salad with 1 Tsp salt and 1 Tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to preference
• Drizzle the olive oil generously over the salad, ensuring even distribution for a balanced richness in every bite.
• Rinse the fresh basil leaves, pat dry, chop and scatter them over the salad. The basil adds a lovely aroma and flavor.
• Add the chopped cilantro
• Add the remainder of the red wine vinegar if needed from the red onions over the entire salad, allowing it to mingle with the olive oil for a tangy note.
