Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb heirloom tomatoes
• 1 can (15 oz) canned cannellini beans
• 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls or burrata
• 2 ripe avocado
• 8 slices crusty bread or toast
• 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 lemon
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp honey

Instructions

1. 1Drain and rinse the cannellini beans thoroughly. Place them in a bowl and toss with a spoonful of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, kosher salt, and a few torn basil leaves.
2. 2Slice the heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds and wedges of different colors. Arrange them on a large platter or four individual boards, seasoning lightly with flaky salt and black pepper.
3. 3Tear or slice the mozzarella and nestle pieces among the tomatoes. Halve, pit, and slice the avocados; fan the slices onto the boards and finish with a squeeze of lemon so they stay bright.
4. 4Spoon the dressed white beans into small piles or ramekins on each board for easy scooping.
5. 5Toast or warm the bread if desired, then drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tomatoes, cheese, and beans.
6. 6Scatter the rest of the basil leaves generously across everything. Add a light sprinkle of chili flakes and a final tiny drizzle of honey over the tomatoes and cheese for sweet-heat contrast.
7. 7Set out the boards with the toast on the side so everyone can build open-faced bites. Serve cool or at room temperature—no stove required.
