Best ways to enjoy it
This salad shines on its own, but there are ways to elevate it even further! For presentation, you can layer the salad in individual bowls or plates, creating colorful layers. Consider pairing it with a refreshing glass of white wine or sparkling water infused with lemon. For a more substantial meal, serve it alongside grilled chicken or fish.
How to store
If you have leftovers, it’s best to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This salad is ideally enjoyed fresh, but it can last for about 2 days. However, keep in mind that the texture of the burrata might change slightly. For best flavor and safety, eat the leftovers promptly and do not freeze, as it may alter the creamy texture.
Helpful cooking tips
To achieve the best results, ensure the grill is really preheated before adding the peaches; this helps to create those lovely grill marks and caramelizes their sugars. For a unique twist, try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or a handful of arugula for an extra peppery kick!
