I love a Caprese salad and so I'll take it in any form! This Roasted Caprese Salad with Burrata is a delicious spin that everyone will love.

When tomatoes aren't at their seasonal peak, but I think a menu could use a good Caprese salad, this is the recipe to turn to. Roasting tomatoes pulls out all that excess water, so it concentrates the tomato's flavor - and makes them super deliciously sweet! Topped with basil, arugula, and lots of torn burrata cheese, salt and olive oil... does it get any better than that?
