Summer Vibes in a Bowl: Peach Burrata Salad

Okay, so have you ever just wanted to dive face-first into a bowl of summer? Like, really? This Peach Burrata Salad is all the sun-drenched vibes and fruit happiness you can imagine. Seriously, it’s like a summer picnic in your mouth!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: you’re at the grocery store, and you spot those fresh peaches—OMG, right?! You gotta get the ripe ones—like, the ones that practically smell like sunshine. Grab a couple. Then there’s the salad greens, some baby ones. Just 2 cups, don’t be shy!

You’ll also want a red onion—just a smidge, like ⅛ cup thinly sliced, nothing crazy. And cherries! 4 cups (yes, you heard me!) of mixed berries: blackberries, strawberries—whatever’s calling your name!

Oh, and don’t forget the burrata cheese. It’s like creamy heaven in a ball! And trust me, you NEED roasted pistachios for that crunch factor. Sprinkle on some sea salt and black pepper. Seriously, they elevate everything! Extra virgin olive oil or, if you’re feeling fancy, Meyer lemon infused olive oil is a must. Lastly, have some balsamic glaze on hand for that sweet drizzle.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, let me tell you about the first time I made this salad. It was a hot day, my friends were over, and I wanted to impress them without slaving away in the kitchen. I saw a recipe online (thanks, Pinterest!), and I thought, “This is it. If I mess this up, I’ll never live it down.”

So I went all in. The juicy peaches, the creamy burrata—oh my gosh, it looked SO pretty! And when I took my first bite? Mind. Blown. Everyone was raving! They kept asking for the recipe, and I felt like a kitchen rockstar! Now, I whip it up for every BBQ, picnic, or just because it’s Tuesday, honestly. It’s like my secret weapon!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Here’s the deal: when you slice that burrata, do it gently—like, you wanna tear it, not slice it. Let it ooze out that creamy goodness all over the peaches and berries. That’s where the magic happens! It’s like a flavor explosion! Seriously, don’t rush this part. Take a moment. Breathe. Appreciate the ooze.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Peach Overload: Don’t skimp on the peaches! More is more here.
– Chill the Burrata: Let it sit out for just a bit before serving; it tastes way better at room temp.
– Dressing Hack: If you’re feeling adventurous, mix some honey into the balsamic glaze for an extra layer of yum!
– Presentation: Make it pretty! Don’t just dump it all on a plate—arrange it like you care (because you do)!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Alright, here’s the lowdown: this salad is best fresh, like, don’t plan on eating it two days later. It’ll get sad. If you have leftovers, store the fruit and burrata separately in the fridge, and assemble when you’re ready to eat. But let’s be real—leftovers? Rarely happen around here!
