Peach & Burrata Salad

This salad truly tastes like summer on a plate. And it’s delicious. The salty burrata and sweet peaches make the ultimate summer salad. Actual quote from my husband “this is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten, I would pay £30 for that in a restaurant”. Praise indeed!

Peaches are in season in the UK is usually from June to September, with the peak in August. Try to get British peaches if you can as they will be more nutritious having travelled fewer miles.
