A note from Linda about the recipe:
“Classic Italian caprese salad is made with summer garden tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil; this version swaps in stone fruit for tomatoes (which are technically fruit). Since burrata is basically fresh mozzarella filled with cream, the idea seemed natural—peaches and cream. For a plant-based version, swap out the burrata for kumiage yuba from Hodo. Different herbs work well here—basil, mint, or tarragon are a few I’ve tried. To round out the salad and make it more substantial, I serve it on a bed of peppery arugula, which plays nicely off the sweetness of the peaches. A sprinkling of harissa at the end adds an unexpected smoky and slightly spicy note. Make sure to use ripe, ideally farmers’ market or farm stand peaches for the best results—their juices add to the dressing. “
