For the herbe oil

125 ml (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil

6 large basil leaves (plus more for garnish)

15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh tarragon leaves

15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped chives

  2. On a large serving plate, arrange the tomatoes, endive leaves, and prosciutto slices. Place the burrata in the center.
  3. Drizzle the salad with the herb oil and vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
