Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, cherries, basil, mint, red pepper flakes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside and let the mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bread slices with oil and grill until lightly marked on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total.
- To serve, spoon the peach and cherry mixture onto a platter. Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and arrange them over the salad. Sprinkle the flake salt evenly over the cheese and drizzle the cheese with a little extra olive oil, balsamic, and fresh herbs if desired. Serve with the grilled bread.

Easy to fix, beautiful, and was a hit with our guests
The flavors in this salad are delicious, but I didn’t love how the balsamic vinegar discolored everything. Next time, I’ll make the salad with white balsamic instead. The flake salt at the end is a must.
Perfect for summer!
