Bursty Tomato Burrata Salad

Crostini With Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, Burrata and Chive Oil

The building blocks of a classic Caprese salad are re-imagined in these summery toasts. First, cherry tomatoes are blistered in a skillet until bursting with juice. Then creamier burrata takes the place of the more standard mozzarella. And in place of basil leaves, a quick and easy chive oil adds an herbal accent. The result makes for a great snack or light meal.

Fresh Summer Tomato Bruschetta

These classic Italian tomato-topped toasts should be made only when tomatoes are at the peak of their season; the rest of the year, it's better to try my awesome oven-roasted recipe using canned tomatoes. The secret to this version is to use a mix of ripe heirloom varieties, and rub the garlic on the toasts instead of folding it into the tomatoes for a more even and less harsh garlic flavor.
