Instructions

Flip zucchini and cover skillet; cook through until fork tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and season with sea salt and black pepper. Cut into large pieces.
Arrange salad on large platter with torn greens, tomatoes, sliced plums, and zucchini chunks, and divide the burrata into 4 servings. Drizzle with dressing. Finish with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
