Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ripe tomatoes of any variety (we used the first tomatoes from our garden, and they were so good!)
- 2 ripe peaches sliced lengthwise 1/4″ thick
- 8 ounces fresh, ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 large ball of burrata (you can use pieces of mozzarella if you don’t have burrata, but it’s not quite as good)
- 2 tablespoons of good olive oil
- Sea salt
- Fresh pepper
- A handful of basil leaves (I like to use the small leaves whole, but you can tear pieces of larger basil leaves)
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes lengthwise into quarters or bite-sized pieces (depending on the type and size of tomatoes) and place them on the serving platter.
- Nestle the peaches among the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the strawberries on top.
- Place the burrata ball in the center of the dish and make small slits in the shape of an X on top.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the entire dish.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the top of everything.
- Spread the basil leaves over the dish.
- Zest the lemon and the lime over the dish using a Microplane.
- Cut the lemon and the lime in half and juice one half of each, and pour the juice evenly over the salad.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the flavors of summer!
