Sides & Salads | 4 servings
Creamy burrata becomes the star of this elegant salad when paired with juicy summer peaches, crisp cucumber ribbons, and a bright habanero vinaigrette that captures everything you love about your Number 3. The stone fruit's sweetness plays beautifully against the heat and lime, while the cheese's cool creaminess grounds the whole composition. It's a salad that feels special enough for entertaining yet simple enough for a weeknight luxury.
