Instructions
Cut the plum into 4 or 8 pieces. Drizzle with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, toss to coat and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, moving constantly so they don't burn, until lightly brown (1-2 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside to cool
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the still-warm skillet. Put in the plum segments and gently sear in each side until golden brown (3-4 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
Cut the cherry tomatoes lengthwise in half and put them in your salad bowl.
Cut the orange into 8 segments, and then cut the peel off of each segment. Cut off any excess white membrane or peel and put the orange slices in the bowl with the tomatoes.
Sprinkle the tomatoes and orange slices with salt (if using), mix gently and and then drizzle with another tablespoon each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Arrange the plum segments in the bowl and then sprinkle in the pine nuts. Place the burrata in the center.
Serve with more balsamic and olive oil on the side.
