The Summer Caprese You’ll Want to Eat on Repeat (Plus What to Serve With It)


Hi friend,

There’s a reason a good caprese salad never goes out of style—but this one has a little something extra. My new gourmet Burrata Caprese Salad takes everything you love about the classic (juicy tomatoes, creamy burrata, fresh basil) and gives it a subtle twist with sundried tomatoes marinated in olive oil.

It’s simple but layered—perfect for summer nights when you want to eat something beautiful without spending hours in the kitchen. Serve it up with crusty bread and a chilled glass of wine, and you’re in business.

Gourmet Burrata Caprese – The kind of salad that looks fancy, eats fast, and tastes like peak summer—without turning on the stove.

Make It a Meal:


Start with a little salty-sweet bite, follow it up with this dreamy caprese, and round it out with something satisfying and fresh. Done and done.

Prosciutto Wrapped Apricots with Honey and Brie – These are salty-sweet perfection—juicy apricots wrapped in crispy prosciutto with creamy brie tucked inside and a warm honey drizzle over top. They’re wildly easy and feel like something you'd order at a wine bar.

Creamy Pesto Salmon Pasta – Herby pesto, tender salmon, and a silky-smooth cream sauce all wrapped around twirls of pasta. It’s cozy enough for a dinner party, light enough for summer, and totally worth turning on the stove for.

Grilled Summer Squash with Lemon Basil Drizzle – Simple grilled zucchini and yellow squash meet a zippy lemon basil vinaigrette. It’s bright, fast, and brings just the right amount of freshness to balance out your plate.

This whole menu is what I love about summer cooking: the freshest ingredients, the thoughtful touches, and the kind of flavor that speaks for itself.

I hope it finds a spot on your summer table soon 💛
