This is a twist on the traditional caprese salad, but still simple and seasonal. Swap plums for tomatoes, throw in a handful of mint and....magic!
-
1
lb
ripe plums
I like to use a mix..red, black, yellow
-
8
oz
burrata or fresh mozzarella
-
1
cup
fresh basil leaves
-
1
cup
fresh mint leaves
-
Good extra virgin olive oil
to taste
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
Slice the plums in half and remove the pits. Slice into rounds.
-
Scatter half of the basil and mint leaves on a platter. Then arrange the plum rounds on top, leaving room in the center for the burrata. Sprinkle with remaining herbs.
-
Place the burrata in the center.
-
Generously drizzle with good olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and pepper.
