Notes
For substitutions, use mozzarella in place of burrata, or nectarines instead of peaches. Omit prosciutto for a vegetarian adaptation or substitute with toasted nuts for crunch. Assemble just before serving to maintain texture; store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to one day. If peaches are underripe, macerate with a bit of sugar and lemon juice. To prevent sogginess, add dressing only at serving time.
