# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 25 minutes, so you're not stuck in the kitchen on a gorgeous day.
  • The warm-cold contrast and mix of textures keeps every bite interesting and satisfying.
  • It's elegant enough to serve guests but casual enough to make on a Tuesday night.
02 -
  • Don't add the burrata until you're ready to serve; it softens and loses its texture in the fridge, so this salad doesn't keep or travel well.
  • If your peaches aren't quite ripe, grilling actually helps them along—the heat brings out sugars that might still be sleeping in an underripe peach.
03 -
  • Buy peaches the day before and let them sit on the counter to reach peak ripeness—they'll grill faster and taste sweeter.
  • If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works perfectly; the heat distribution is even and you still get those caramelized edges.
