Variations and Notes
What are stone fruits?
Peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, cherries, plots, lychees, mangoes and more. They’re fruits with a large “stone: (pit) inside.
Colorful stone fruits begin making their appearance at the farmers markets in Cali in June and stay through Sept. Any stone fruits, from a single variety to a wide combination ranging in all different colors of the rainbow and flavors work in this burrata salad!
They key is really to get the the very best looking stone fruit at your local farmers market! There’s no judgement if you’d also like to include some non-stone fruits in this burrata salad. Heirloom tomatoes, at the peak of their season, are always welcome as well.
Burrata
Not all burrata are created it!!! All humans are created equal. All burrata is not. They widely range in creaminess and flavor. My go to brands are
Vinaigrette
Can be flexi. Shallots add a nice crunch but can leave them out or completely swap the vinaigrette all together.
Fresh Herbs
Go-to is basil but mint and other fresh herbs can work as well!
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
If you have the good stuff in your pantry, use it!
Serving Suggestion
Arrange the stone fruit and burrata salad on a tray so that all the colorful of the stone fruit rainbow can be seen! No fancy tray required. A baking dish or sheet works wonders!
