It is clearly obvious that I have been obsessed with 2 things this summer.
Fresh produce and burrata.
Peaches, tomatoes, burrata, herbs, etc. may or may not have shown up in multiple recipes on the blog and I am not sorry about it. It’s what I have been loving and craving and literally can’t get enough of.

This Peach and Tomato Caprese Salad with Crispy Prosciutto proves to be no different today.
I have also been a fan of quick and easy meals this summer that don’t require any oven time and minimal stove time. Most everything has been tossed on the grill and I just think there isn’t anything better. I have wanted light and healthy but you better not skimp on the flavor mister! Healthy doesn’t have to be (and shouldn’t be) boring!

What Does Caprese Salad Mean?
Caprese salad is a traditional Italian salad consisting of fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and fresh basil. Usually lightly dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
What Is The Difference Between Mozerella and Burrata?
Mozzarella and burrata are so similar but yet so different.
If you have never had burrata it is basically a fresh mozzarella ball stuffed with cream. Yep. You read that right.
Mozzarella cheese has a more delicate flavor that is more stringy and elastic in texture. Whereas burrata cheese is rich, soft, and delicate. You break a burrata ball open and let the fresh cream inside ooze out onto whatever you are serving.
It's literally divine!
If you have a dish that you include fresh mozzarella, try using burrata next time for an elevated flavor.
I am OBVIOUSLY OBSESSED with it and what to put it on everything like peach, prosciutto and burrata flatbread and corn peach jalapeno salsa with burrata on toast points! ?
Can I Make Peach and Tomato Caprese Salad ahead of Time or Save the Leftovers?
Unfortunately, this is best enjoyed made fresh. I find the peaches and tomatoes don't hold up very well for long periods of time in the fridge. As well as burrata needs to be broken up right before eating too.
This dish doesn't take long to make so it will be no problem just throwing it together right before dinner.
This makes enough for 4 people or just 2 if you’re like me and this is your entire dinner.
The summer fresh peaches and tomatoes are bursting with flavor and I can't get enough! Plus put burrata on anything and I am a goner. Done for. Sick a fork in me. I am just going to dive in and bathe myself in it.
Ok you get the picture..... lol ?
