Expert Tips

• Serve Immediately: Burrata is best enjoyed fresh, so assemble the salad just before serving to keep the cheese creamy and delicious.

FAQ

Can I use other fruits in this salad?

Absolutely! This salad is versatile and works well with other stone fruits like nectarines or plums. You can also add berries for extra sweetness.

What can I substitute for burrata?

If burrata is unavailable, you can use fresh mozzarella. While it won’t be as creamy, it will still complement the flavors beautifully.

How do I store leftovers?

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Note that the arugula may wilt slightly.
