Instructions

Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to keep the salad texture intact.
- Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable.

- This salad is best served fresh and not made too far in advance to preserve the creamy texture of the burrata.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
