To make this Burrata Salad with Frozen Tomato Shavings, you will need the following ingredients:
Drain the burrata and place it in a bowl an hour before you are planning to serve it. Carefully cut off the knot at the top to make it easier to open, ensuring you do not cut into the burrata and spill its insides.
Cut the baguette into slices, rub each slice with the cut garlic clove, and brush with oil.
Grill the prepared baguette slices until toasted.
Drizzle the burrata with 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Using a coarse grater, grate the frozen tomato over the burrata.
Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves and serve with the toasted baguette. Enjoy!
