Is it a salad or a midsummer daydream?

This Heirloom Tomato & Nectarine Salad with Burrata is what happens when your farmer’s market haul decides to throw a garden party. Juicy heirlooms, sun-kissed stone fruit, and clouds of creamy burrata come together in a dish that’s as easy to assemble as it is impossible to forget. Add a drizzle of citrus-honey magic and a sprinkle of toasted crunch, and you’ve got sunshine on a plate—best enjoyed with bare feet and a chilled glass of Pinot Gris in hand.

Recipe

  • 2 heirloom tomatoes, cut into wedges or thick slices
  • 2 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced (peaches are also a wonderful alternative!)
  • 1 ball of burrata (about 4 oz), torn or placed whole in center (mozzarella as a substitute)
  • 2 tbsp toasted sliced almonds or pistachios
  • Handful of fresh basil (or a basil-mint mix)
  • Flaky sea salt + freshly cracked black pepper

Citrus-Honey Vinaigrette

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Optional: lemon zest for brightness

Instructions

  • Arrange sliced tomatoes and nectarines on a serving plate
  • Place burrata in the center (tear slightly for that creamy spill, or leave whole for drama).
  • Scatter toasted nuts and fresh basil over the top.
  • Drizzle with vinaigrette. Finish with flaky salt and pepper.
