Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3–4 different kinds of tomatoes sliced
  • 1.5 cups tomato salad
  • 6 ounces prosciutto
  • 8 ounces pearl mozzarella
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/4 cup basil
  • 1/4 cup pickled onion or another pickled element
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • optional additions: pesto, olives, burrata, Parmesan, good quality olive oil, ricotta olives, burrata, Parmesan, good quality olive oil, ricotta

Instructions
 

  • Slice the tomatoes into rounds using a sharp chef’s knife so the cuts are clean, not crushed. Arrange the slices across a large wooden board or platter.
  • In a small bowl, combine halved grape tomatoes with a little minced garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Toss gently and set aside.
  • Fold prosciutto into loose ribbons and scatter it around the tomatoes. Place mozzarella pearls and cucumber slices between the layers so there’s always a fresh bite nearby.
  • Tuck in basil leaves and pickled onion for pops of color and tangy flavor.
  • Sprinkle toasted pine nuts over the board. Toast them in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  • If using, spoon pesto in small dollops, add a ball of burrata to the center, drizzle with olive oil, or grate Parmesan directly over the top.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a mix of heirloom, cherry, grape, and beefsteak tomatoes for variety in both flavor and color.
  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a sweet contrast to the salty prosciutto and creamy mozzarella.
  • Chill the serving platter first to help keep everything fresh.
  • If adding burrata, serve it in a shallow dish on the board to catch all the creamy insides.
