This is the time of the year that all of the fruit and veggies are at their peak. Peaches, plums, and berries are bursting with juicy sweetness. And oh those tomatoes! I can eat them like apples. I took some of summer’s best and nestled them alongside some fresh Burrata to create this crazy easy peach, heirloom tomato, and burrata salad. It’s like summer in a bowl.
Summer Peach, Heirloom Tomato, and Burrata Salad
If you have never had Burrata cheese, you must run out immediately and purchase some. Or just Amazon fresh it to yourself in 2 hours. Burrata is an Italian cow’s milk cheese. It is Mozzarella cheese on the outside and party on the inside with a mix of Mozzarella and cream. It is so tasty and makes a great meal in itself or a fantastic appetizer to share.
The subtle saltiness of the Burrata pairs just beautifully with the sweetness of summer fruit. Traditional Burrata salads usually pair tomatoes. But why not kick it up a notch? The fruit is too good right now not to take advantage of it.
So what’s in this Summer Peach, Heirloom Tomato, and Burrata Salad? We had a bunch of ripening fruit on the counter that I could not let go to waste. I sliced some peaches, plums, yellow and red heirloom tomatoes, and blueberries and nestled them on top of my Burrata. Fresh watermelon or plums would also be a great addition. I drizzled on some high-quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil and a dash of kosher salt. That’s it!
This Summer Peach, Heirloom Tomato and Burrata salad is pretty much summer in a bowl. Simple appetizer or a meal in itself. It’s too good not to share. Have a piece of crusty Sourdough bread? Dip that right in and enjoy.
