Made with ripe, in season heirloom tomatoes and a good quality EVOO, this is a great salad. Traditional Caprese does not have Balsamic, adaptations have added it as it has become more popular. The traditional idea is that the vinegar would overpower the delicate flavors of the ripe heirloom tomatoes. Burrata is also wetter than Mozzarella Fresca, and so she may have chosen to have less liquid for that reason.
