This speedy summer salad is perfect as a sharing starter or as part of a Italian spread.


Method:

  • Mix the dressing ingredients together. The easiest way to do this is to put all the ingredients in a jam jar, pop the lid on and give the jar a good shake until everything is well emulsified.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a hot pan, toast the pine nuts for a minute or so on each side or until golden. Remove and set them aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cherries and plums.
  • Add most of the dressing and toss to combine.
  • Arrange the salad beautifully on a serving board or platter.
  • Just before you're ready to serve, place the burrata in the middle and drizzle lightly with the remaining dressing.
  • Scatter with the toasted pine nuts and season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Finish with the basil leaves and sprinkle with oregano before serving.
