To say I’m obsessed with cheese is an understatement. I mean it is the first thing on my About Me page. I love it all and I’m an equal cheese opportunity consumer. Does that even make sense? Let’s pretend it did. I’m all for equal opportunity cheese consumption unless we’re talking about Burrata. In that case, I’m calling myself out and fessing up because Burrata cheese is the all time best cheese on the planet. Especially when you serve it with a ton of gorgeous ripe stone fruit like peaches, nectarines, pluots and plums on this Stone Fruit and Burrata Salad.
Burrata is basically a freshly made Italian cheese. The outer shell is fresh mozzarella and the inside is a combination of both mozzarella and cream, which makes it creamy, amazing and 100% addictive. I like to use it on top of salads, scattered over grilled pizza or on top of my pasta. Whichever way you choose to use it, it’s totally going to bump up your meal.
This one is coming to you video style…. check it out!
If you haven’t had Burrata yet, you should probably try it immediately. And let me know what you think. I’m willing to bet you’ll be equally as obsessed as I am!
Also, I’ve recently challenged myself to live without my car for a week. In LA! Who am I? Everyone in LA drives and it’s near impossible to get places without a car in any sort of timely fashion. Clearly I issued this challenge to myself when I wasn’t totally grasping all the things that needed to be done this week, but I’m happy to report that I’m on day 3 of no car and it’s been fine. My bright orange beach cruiser and I have been getting to know each other real well! That is, after I dug it out of my storage unit over the weekend! When you ride your bike, 4 miles round trip, JUST to pick up some freshly made cheese in order to make this Stone Fruit and Burrata Salad, you’re totally entitled to eat it all by yourself!

I hope I can find that cheese here in CT. I only shop at Whole Foods so that’s my best chance! It looks amazing. I was in CA and should have tried some while there!
Thanks………
Oh they will totally have it at whole foods!! Maybe even a few different kinds – ask your cheese monger there and I’m sure they can point you in the right direction!
They have 2 kinds at Whole Foods! I got the one from VT.
Wow, no car, how are you doing that? But good for you and that cheese…yeah…eat it all yourself!!
I have no idea how I’m doing this whole no car thing 🙂 Clearly I’ve lost my mind!
This salad looks AWESOME! I love the cheese and the freshness of the peaches.
Thanks Robyn 🙂 Me too!
LA traffic is totally the worst – I hear ya! I’m biking everywhere but it’s scary because no drivers in LA pay attention to bike riders… so it’s a little cray cray!
Wait, I feel like you would be OBSESSED with burrata! Do you have a little italian market near you? Or a whole foods? Sometimes Trader Joes has some too!
I posted a similar salad last week. I can’t get enough!
Looks absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks Marian 🙂
I love your cute videos!! I am totally into the no car as much as possible too- its good for us! 🙂
thanks lady!!
I have NOT had burrata yet and I’m dying to try it!! This looks so delicious, super fresh and summery!
whaaaaaat? omg you are going to FLIP. You’ll be totally obsessed
I love the part in the video where you cut into the Barrata!!
hahahah thanks Jenny! i know, that gooey center gets me every time 🙂
I am a cruiser girl also – mine is lime green with white polka dots. I love to fill up my basket with farmers market produce.
Confession. I have never tried burrata! I am now on a mission! This looks like the BEST summer salad!
I want your green cruiser!
Love me some burrata!! This sounds like a wicked pairing too. Oh, why can’t summer last for a few more months?!
I hear ya! I’m ready to extend summer until at least October
Ok, so I’ve never had burrata, but if you’re calling it a life-changing cheese, I think I need to try it asap!
Also, you’re super cute!
first – omg you have to try it immediately! it’s going to totally rock your world!
second – you’re the sweetest! thank you
Such a pretty summer salad…LOVE that cheese too!
I agree, burrata is one the best cheese. I normally don’t enjoy cheese much but this one is an exception, and adding that on salad is absolutely yummy!
Gorgeous salad, Gaby!! The video made me want to eat that burrata so badly!! 🙂
Oooh, I haven’t bought any burrata yet this summer…I just discovered how wonderful fresh Mozz is with peaches, so I know I’d go nuts for your gorgeous salad!
There is nothing quite like burrata, gorgeous salad!
I agree, all cheese is equal unless we are talking burrata! I love burrata, and I’m so happy to find a recipe that uses it in a salad. Hey, now I can justify eating cheese, because I’m really eating a salad!
yeahhhhh I like your reasoning 🙂
