procedure

1. Prepare the grapefruit and oranges by cutting off the outer peel and the pith. Cut the fruit into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices, or segment the grapefruit and the oranges by using a small sharp knife to cut between each segment to remove the pieces of fruit.

2. Place the burrata on a serving platter, and use your hands to break it up into smaller pieces.

3. Place the cut grapefruit and oranges around the burrata.

4. Sprinkle the mint and basil over citrus and burrata. Place the edible flowers around the platter. Lightly drizzle olive oil and honey over the top, then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.

Adjust the flavors and add more of anything you like.
