Late Summer Pluot, Heirloom Tomato, & Burrata Salad

What is a pluot? Oh man, I still remember the first time I tasted one- I was in college at a local market in Burlington, VT. Intrigued by a fruit I hadn’t heard of, I had to try one. And I was hooked immediately. These stone fruits are a mix between an apricot and a plum; their sweet but just slightly tart taste perfectly contrast the tomatoes in this salad. To be honest, if you can’t find a pluot, don’t worry. You can use any stone fruit in place of it. I just saw these at the market, love them, and they looked fresh! I recommend using whatever stone fruit (apricot, peach, nectarine, plum) looks best.

And burrata? Yes, I’m obsessed. This mozzarella-like cheese is my new favorite thing. Especially right now as stone fruit and tomatoes are in season and the combination of this cheese with them is to die for. I’ve had it most days for the past few weeks whenever home.
