Grilled Mango, Tomato, and Burrata Platter Cook’s Tip:

Enhance your culinary experience with this delightful grilled mango, tomato, and burrata platter. Here’s a helpful tip to make the most of these vibrant flavors:

Tomato Storage: Tomatoes, known for their sweet and tangy flavors, can lose some of their taste when chilled. For optimal taste, it’s recommended to store tomatoes at room temperature, especially if they are not fully ripe. However, if you need to refrigerate them, be sure to bring them back to room temperature about 30 minutes before serving. This ensures that their rich, natural flavors are not muted by the cold.

Additional Serving Suggestions:

• Experiment with other burrata recipes like burrata with savory granola or a grilled peach salad with burrata to explore diverse flavor combinations.
• When grilling mangoes, aim for a slight caramelization on the surface to enhance their sweetness.
