✅ Pick perfectly ripe fruit
• Use firm yet ripe peaches so they hold their shape and burst with flavor in every bite. Too soft? You’ve got compote. Hard pass.
🧀 Well-treated burrata = ultra-creamy burrata
• Drain your burrata for at least 15 minutes before assembling to avoid a soggy salad. Tear it by hand for that sexy rustic look.
🌿 Fresh herbs = max freshness
• Don’t skimp on the basil! Want to mix it up? Add a bit of fresh mint for an unexpected wow effect.
🍯 Room-temp dressing = smoother blend
• Honey mixes better with oil when it’s at room temperature. Whisk well for a glossy, aromatic emulsion.
🥗 Assemble last-minute to avoid the flop
• Build the salad right before serving to keep the greens crisp and the tomatoes juicy. No wilted salad here!
🔪 Add some crunch
• No hazelnuts? Swap for roasted pistachios, walnuts, or even a savory homemade granola.
🍞 Want to make it a full meal?
• Serve it with warm focaccia, a crusty baguette, or add some prosciutto for an irresistible salty kick.

Yes! Nectarines are a great substitute. They’re a bit firmer, which makes for a beautiful presentation and a pleasant texture.
Absolutely! It keeps for 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Let it come back to room temperature before serving and whisk well to re-emulsify.
