Peach Tomato Burrata Salad

Summer is in full swing and you can bet I am soaking up every little bit of sunshine. ☀️ My Peach Tomato Burrata Salad is sweet and savoury and the perfect side dish for the summer months.

My mother lives in a beautiful rural neighbourhood that has some incredible local farms right outside her back door. When I go to visit her, I love checking out those farms and sourcing the freshest and organic vegetables and fruits I can find. They also have a huge peach festival and it is something I look forward to each and every year. This Peach Tomato Burrata Salad is inspired by this spent with her.

I love making this salad for dinner parties. The good news is that this salad can be made in under 15 minutes. It also looks absolutely beautiful and tastes even better. A perfect salad to impress your guests.

Time to soak up some beautiful local Ontario summer harvest! 🍑🍅

INGREDIENTS:

• Burrata: Burrata is more creamy consistency but you can also use Flor Di Latte which is a bit more dense mozzarella
• Peaches: Summer fresh peaches work great but you can also use Nectarines.
• Heirloom Tomatoes: these tomatoes give a great diverse colour appeal but regular beefsteak tomatoes work just as good
• Cherry Tomatoes: these are nice and sweet and give a great contract to the other acidic tomatoes
• Fresh Basil: fresh is best, if you don’t have any on hand, you can substitute with fresh parsley, dill or cilantro
• Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil: This type of olive oil has no added solvents or chemicals making for a cleaner and healthier taste
• Balsamic Glaze: Glaze had a thicker consistency and wont make the salad soggy. You can also substitute with Balsamic vinegar
• Optional Garnish: You can add roasted pumpkin seeds or diced pistachios for added crunch

This salad pairs well with my Ultimate BBQ Grilled Pork Ribs or Teriyaki Ginger Chicken & Pineapple Skewers.
