# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Balancing sweet peaches with salty prosciutto might just tempt you to eat salad for dessert.
  • No-cook recipes are the heroes of sticky summer nights or last-minute entertaining.
02 -
  • Once I grabbed underripe peaches in a hurry—never again, because the salad lost all its juicy magic.
  • Tearing, not slicing, the burrata stops it from leaking everywhere and keeps those creamy pockets intact.
03 -
  • Letting the ingredients warm slightly to room temperature before assembling brings out all their flavors.
  • A good-quality olive oil ties the sweetness and saltiness together for that just-right finish.
