Notes
Burrata can be messy because it's so creamy but that's what makes it great! Add the burrata right before you serve it.
If you want to serve it in a larger format, you can place all ingredients in a large bowl but use mozzarella balls instead of the burrata. It won't be as rich and creamy but it will look nicer and dish out easier in a larger serving bowl.
