Is it even summer if you’re not having some variation of burrata salad at every meal?

People will be SO impressed.

What is burrata?

If you’ve never tried burrata before you’re in for a treat! Burrata is a soft shell of Italian cow-milk mozzarella wrapped around a creamy center. It’s rich and indulgent and the perfect accompaniment to ripe summer tomatoes and nectarines. Burrata salad is one of the things I look forward to most when summertime rolls around!

Tips for Burrata Salad with Prosciutto and Nectarines:

-If you can’t find ripe nectarines, peaches would be lovely in this salad as well. Go with whatever is the best quality at the market that day.

-Same goes for the burrata if you can’t find burrata substitute high-quality mozzarella.

-Freshly sliced prosciutto is always better than the prepackages kind. Head to the deli counter for freshly sliced prosciutto!
