Instructions

Notes
- Use ripe, but firm peaches to maintain texture in the salad.
- The burrata cheese should be drained and patted dry to avoid excess moisture.
- Grilled bread adds a nice crunchy contrast but is optional depending on preference.
- Balsamic glaze adds sweetness and depth; alternatively, a balsamic reduction or good quality balsamic vinegar can be used.
