Nectarine Caprese Salad
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. assorted heirloom tomatoes
- 3 soft-ripe white nectarines (1 1/2 lbs. total)
- 8 ounces burrata cheese or fresh mozzarella
- About 1/4 cup small fresh opal* (purple) basil leaves or regular basil leaves
- 10 fresh mint leaves, whole or thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon regular or white balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- About 1/2 tsp. flaked sea salt, such as Maldon
- About 1/2 tsp. pepper
- Cut tomatoes and nectarines into large wedges and arrange on a platter. Tear burrata into large chunks and distribute over the top, along with any escaped cream (but not the liquid from fresh mozzarella, if using). Scatter basil and mint over salad.
- Whisk together vinegars and oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over salad. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper, and add more to taste if you like.
- *Find at farmers' markets.
