Drescription

This easy sandwich is a harmony of flavors that you can toss together for a quick lunch or dinner. Fresh heirloom tomato goes well with the slightly salty, creamy burrata and tangy balsamic vinegar. Be sure to toast the ciabatta, as it adds a welcome crunch and keeps the bread from getting soggy. If you're looking to add more protein to the sandwich, sliced deli meat like chicken or turkey would be delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
  • pinch of salt
  • ⅔ cup lightly packed arugula
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 slice heirloom tomato, halved
  • 2 ounces burrata, halved
  • 2 slices ciabatta, toasted

Directions

  1. Whisk vinegar, oil, pepper and salt together in a medium bowl. Add arugula and basil; toss to coat.
  2. Layer tomato, burrata and the arugula mixture on 1 slice of ciabatta. Drizzle with any remaining vinegar from the bowl; top with the other slice of ciabatta. Cut in half before serving.

But my most favorite Sundays at Grandma's were the Sundays when she made her gnocchi.
