Peach Tomato Burrata Salad with basil vinaigrette! Fresh, so easy and delicious! This is the perfect salad to enjoy in the summer time when peaches and tomatoes are at their peak! Hope you enjoy!
This farm in Georgia recently sent me a box of peaches. Sweet, juicy and so delicious! When peaches are like this, I just want to eat them plain, or in salads or with cottage cheese. I don’t want to bake them. . they are too good to put into the oven.
I’m pretty sure no matter where you live, it’s hot right now. We are going through a heat wave this week. . in fact, I feel like it’s been hot for weeks now. You may not know this but I was born and grew up in Texas. I grew up in 100 degree summers and it was humid too. Then, I moved away to CA and then WA, WI and now we’re in PA. I very much prefer cold weather over hot. 80 degrees is my threshold. . anything above that and I just want to stay inside in the A/C and relax.
And you can forget turning on the oven. No way. Not in this heat.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. It looks delicious and I will definitely try it.
In mixed dishes, I like to add butter to make their taste more balanced. But that doesn’t mean adding too much because butter has a lot of fat. We need to harmonize them.
