THE PERFECT SUMMER SALAD
All the flavors and freshness of summer come together in this easy salad!
Whether you are BBQing, picnicking, or doing a casual dinner with friends, include this salad in your meal!
It's beautiful, elegant, and screams summer with all the fresh flavors!
I personally love pairing creamy mild cheeses like burrata with fruit. The natural sweetness of the cheese is enhanced naturally this way. I've used berries here but another favorite pairing is peaches!!
Top everything off with a drizzle of balsamic reduction to help bring everything together!
Less than 10 minutes to prep this beauty, and your guests will be wowed!
