They say, “what grows together, goes together.” When it comes to summer time crops like peaches and tomatoes, I could not agree more. Like many recipes I create, this one was inspired by a delicious dish I experienced at a restaurant in San Diego. The sweet and savory notes of the tomatoes are enhanced by the juicy punch from the peaches. I like to use two different tomato varieties to add complexity. Add in quality olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil, and some burrata (or a good whole milk mozzarella) and you have a delicious meal or side dish. It is one of my favorite summertime lunches!
