Storing Tips
Peach burrata salad is always best served fresh and right away! Whenever you work with fresh fruit and vegetables, it needs to be enjoyed before the fruit browns and the veggies wilt. Here are some tips if you want to keep the ingredients to make it throughout the week.
Storing Peaches: Generally, peaches will last for 3-4 days on the counter. If you have ripe peaches that you want to save for more peach burrata salad later, store them in the refrigerator. You want to store it in the fridge because the cool temperature slows down ripening. It also prevents the peaches from quickly spoiling.
**Do Not Assemble If Storing** Leftover ingredients to make this salad later should be stored separately. The assembly of the salad should only take place if you are about to enjoy it! Keep the lettuce and burrata stored in sealed containers in the fridge. When you’re ready for more salad, follow the directions on the recipe card.
