I only have Roma tomatoes, is that ok? Yes! Just wash, dry and slices the tomatoes into wedges.
Can I make this salad recipe ahead of time? Yes! I would only add the burrata once you’re ready to serve the salad. Same for the dressing and fresh herbs. However, you can prep the fruit and vegetables in advance. You can also make the dressing in advance but store it separately.
