The simplest snacks make a quiet afternoon so perfect. I love the subtle reminders of summer in a salad.

Nothing fancy, just your basic tomato, burrata, basil  (caprese) salad with a  drizzle of olive oil, salt and cracked black pepper. I always sprinkle the salt on the tomato slices and then build from there. Tomatoes and salt are just deliciousness together!

 If you’re not familiar with burrata it’s like mozzarella’s fancy, creamier cousin. The basil I’ve been growing in my kitchen for a while. Who says you can’t garden in Manhattan?!
