Pair it with ice cold lemonade or a crisp white wine and you've got a pretty perfect afternoon. Here's what we used: - Large yellow (or any other variety) heirloom tomato, cut into wedges - 1 large peach, sliced - Handful of fresh basil leaves - 1 burrata ball, broken into pieces - Drizzle of olive oil - Drizzle of balsamic glaze (ours was a peach balsamic glaze) - Sprinkle of flaky salt Would you make this?
