Instructions
Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, oil, vinegar, honey, and a pinch each of salt and pepper to a small bowl. Toss to combine. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes and up to 3 hours.
When ready to serve, cut about half of the basil into thin slivers and gently mix into the tomatoes.
Arrange tomatoes on a platter, leaving most of their rendered juices behind in the bowl. Break open the burrata and place on top, followed by a sprinkling of pine nuts. Drizzle very lightly with additional olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with remaining basil leaves, and serve with baguette toasts or crackers, as desired.
