# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • You get three distinct tomato experiences in one bite sweet fresh smoky roasted and concentrated savory
  • It comes together faster than you can roast a tray of tomatoes but looks like something from a restaurant
02 -
  • Let those roasted tomatoes cool just enough so they dont wilt the greens but stay warm enough to make the burrata creamier
  • The dressing can be made a day ahead but dress the salad right before serving or itll get soggy fast
03 -
  • Use the best tomatoes you can find this recipe lives or dies by their quality
  • Taste a sun dried tomato before adding them some brands are saltier than others
