Burrata caprese is about to be the best thing we do this summer.

I took one bite and declared to my husband that it was probably the most fabulous thing I was going to make all summer, so he should brace himself.

I WAS RIGHT.

It just makes me endlessly happy.

Look, I am no stranger to eating balls of burrata as is, straight from the fridge (which is already kind of a perfect meal), but there is really something to be said about taking a minute to dress them with basil and balsamic syrup and surround them with sugary sweet peaches and tomatoes.

And literally that is all you need – A MINUTE. Okay, maybe five.

Just enough time to toast some pine nuts in a skillet and whiz up the basil vinaigrette in a blender.

It’s the EASIEST summer meal, especially considering how fantastic it is.

Serve with a hunk of good bread for scooping up all those juices that pile up in the middle of the plate.

Oh, and make sure to invite me over for dinner when you do.
