Ingredients
Supplies
Cut the onion into thin, half rings. In a saucepan, mix the white wine vinegar with the sugar and add the onion. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for at least 10 minutes, so that the onion becomes nicely sweet and sour.
Cut the ciabatta into thin slices. Brush the slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill them on the barbecue until golden brown and crispy.
Cut the tomatoes into several pieces: cut the large tomatoes into quarters, halve the cocktail vine tomatoes and mini cherry tomatoes and leave some small tomatoes whole. Cut some of the vine tomatoes into slices.
Mix the pesto with lemon juice, the extra virgin olive oil and a pressed clove of garlic to make a fresh dressing. Season with pepper and salt, if desired.
In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes with half of the dressing. Divide the sweet and sour onion among the tomatoes. Cut the burrata into quarters and place them on top. Spoon the rest of the dressing over the salad.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve with the grilled BBQ ciabatta.
