This is one of the prettiest and healthiest salads around. Heirloom tomatoes, peaches and burrata salad should be in everyone’s rotation. In the summer when the produce is so fresh and you are looking for a delicious, quick addition to your meal or BBQ, this salad wins every time. Often, you’ll see a version of this with sliced prosciutto on it. Go ahead and add it if you like. I have a brother who doesn’t eat pork so I leave it off. Quite honestly, I don’t miss it. The flaky Maldon salt adds the perfect saltiness that the prosciutto usually provides. This always gets raves and it is a summer staple at my house.
To start, you’ll want to buy the freshest tomatoes and peaches you can find. I’ll hit farmers markets, Whole Foods and/or Sprouts looking for big, juicy produce. Buy a selection of the heirloom tomatoes in a variety of colors and shapes. It will make your salad platter that much more exciting. I also had some cherry tomatoes for variety. Grab fresh basil and you are ready to go.
Slice your fruit and veggies. I cut the heirloom tomatoes into thick slices. The cherry tomatoes can cut in half. I remove the pit from the peaches and slice into wedges.
I arrange the fruit on a large platter and place basil leaves in between and around the produce. You could also julienne the basil and scatter over the top.
Take your balls of fresh burrata cheese and tear it into pieces and scatter over the platter. Drizzle the whole platter with olive oil and top with fresh ground black pepper and some flaky sea salt. Maldon has long been a favorite. Serve up plates for your guests or let them help themselves. This is just summer on a plate.
