Chef's Tips
Use the freshest, ripest heirloom tomatoes available for the best flavor.
If you don't have burrata, fresh mozzarella can be substituted, although the texture won't be quite as creamy.
For a bolder basil flavor, pulse the vinaigrette ingredients in a food processor or blender for a few seconds, but be careful not to over-process it, as it can become bitter.
Pair this salad with Parmigiana for a complete and satisfying Italian meal.

Easy"The lemon and ricotta semifreddo offers a light, tangy, and creamy finish that cleanses the palate after the savory Parmigiana. The pistachios add a textural contrast and a subtle nutty flavor that complements the overall Italian theme without being overly heavy."
