We recently had lunch at a wonderful new French restaurant in Georgetown in Washington, DC. On the menu they had an heirloom tomato salad with burrata. If you not not familiar with burrata cheese, it is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella, while the inside has a velvety creamy texture . Therefore, when you cut into the cheese, the inside oozes out and is absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the salad so much I said this is something I will definitely make. Fast forward a few weeks and we are visiting Georgia during peak peach season. My daughter came up the great idea of adding peaches to this recipe – Heirloom Tomato, Peach and Burrata Salad. This combination is unique and absolutely delicious, not to mention the beautiful presentation. I served this with grilled lamb chops and roasted potatoes, a wonderful summer menu.
