The Peach & Burrata Salad with Lavender Vinaigrette is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and aromatic, with juicy, ripe peaches, creamy burrata or mozzarella, crisp greens, and crunchy toasted nuts—ideal for a light lunch, elegant starter, or as a fresh side for grilled meats.
The star of the show is the floral and slightly sweet lavender vinaigrette made with Raider West Farms' Lavender Syrup, which ties all the flavors together beautifully. It's simple, seasonal, and bursting with garden-fresh flavor.
