Instructions

- Add Peaches: Evenly distribute the sliced ripe peaches over the greens, ensuring each serving gets a good amount of fruit.
- Add Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into chunks and gently place them on top of the salad for creamy texture and flavor contrast.
- Garnish: Scatter fresh basil leaves and toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios evenly over the salad to add freshness and crunch.

Notes
- For extra flavor, try grilling the peach slices briefly before assembling the salad to add a smoky sweetness.
- You can substitute burrata cheese with fresh mozzarella if preferred for a different texture but similar mild flavor.
