Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Oh honey, I wouldn't recommend it. Canned peaches turn mushy and their syrup makes the whole salad too sweet. If fresh peaches aren't in season, try nectarines or even ripe mango instead. The texture and bright flavor just won't be the same with canned. Trust me on this one!

What's the best substitute for burrata?

In a pinch, fresh mozzarella will do - but you'll miss that glorious creamy center. For something closer, try stracciatella (it's basically burrata filling without the outer shell). Ricotta salata adds a nice salty contrast if you crumble it over top. Whatever you do, don't use the pre-shredded stuff - it's too dry and rubbery for this delicate salad.

How do I know if my peaches are ripe enough?

Give them a gentle squeeze near the stem - they should yield slightly like a ripe avocado. The real test? Smell them! Ripe peaches have this incredible floral aroma at the stem end. If they smell like nothing, they'll taste like nothing. And don't refrigerate them until they're fully ripe - cold kills their flavor development.

Can I make this ahead for a party?

Here's my party trick: prep everything separately! Slice peaches and toss with a tiny bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. Keep burrata in its liquid until the last minute. Then assemble right before serving - it takes 2 minutes and looks stunning. The assembled salad only holds up for about 2 hours max before getting soggy.

Is there a vegan version of this salad?

Absolutely! Swap the burrata for a good vegan mozzarella (the kind that comes in water works best). For the creamy factor, dollop on some cashew cream or vegan ricotta. The peaches and herbs carry so much flavor that you'll still get that magical sweet-savory balance. Just be sure to use a vegan balsamic glaze too!
