Summer Peach Prosciutto & Burrata Salad

Summer Peach Prosciutto & Burrata Salad

The perfect summer salad

I’ve always loved fruit in my salad — blueberries, strawberries, apples — but let me tell you, peaches are my new favorite. This salad is so light and refreshing, requires only a few simple ingredients and is packed with flavor. The best part? It takes less than 10 minutes to make start to finish, and you can easily modify the recipe to fit your preferences. Add this one to your summer line up!
