Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If prepping ahead, toss peach slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and add burrata and basil just before serving. For a smoky twist, grill peach slices lightly. Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or vegan cheese if desired. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning.
