Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Variations
I enjoy swapping arugula for spinach or adding cucumbers for extra freshness. For a more tangy flavor, I increase the balsamic glaze slightly.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. I try to keep the burrata separate when possible to maintain its texture.
Since this is a fresh salad, reheating is not needed. I always serve it chilled or at room temperature.

I can use fresh mozzarella if burrata is not available, though burrata gives a creamier texture.
Can I grill the peaches?
I sometimes grill the peaches for a smoky flavor before adding them to the salad.
What type of tomatoes work best?
I like using cherry or heirloom tomatoes for the best sweetness and color.
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
I prepare the ingredients ahead but assemble the salad just before serving.
