Notes
Where Do I Buy Burrata? I used to be able to find burrata cheese only at Whole Foods. But over the past couple of years, my local Kroger chain, King Soopers carries it in the specialty cheese section. It comes in a container labeled 16 ounces, which includes two small balls of burrata. One ball is a perfect amount to make this salad.
Can I Make This Ahead of Time? Surprisingly yes. The acid in the vinegar will preserve and keep the peaches from turning a dark color. Just make sure the peaches are tossed well. Arrange the salad on the platter and cover well with plastic wrap. I've made this a few of hours before serving time and it still looks beautiful and fresh.
Storing; Got leftovers? Just transfer to an air tight container and store in the refrigerator overnight. The peaches hold up well and the burrata cheese will stay moist and creamy. One day is about the length of time this will keep.
If Peaches Are Out of Season, substitute Winter fruits such as pears, apricots or nectarines.
