Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?
A: While fresh peaches bring the best texture and flavor to this salad, you can use canned peaches in a pinch. Make sure to drain them well and pat them dry before grilling. Frozen peaches can also be used but should be thawed first and patted dry to avoid excess moisture.
Q: What can I substitute for burrata cheese?
A: If you can't find burrata, fresh mozzarella is a good substitute. Ricotta or creamy goat cheese can also work, but they will provide a slightly different texture and flavor profile.
Q: How should I store leftovers?
A: Store the salad components separately for the best results. Keep the grilled peaches, walnut crumble, and basil lime vinaigrette in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad greens and burrata are best used fresh but can be stored separately for up to 1 day.
Q: What can I use if I don't have a grill or grill pan?
A: If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, you can use a hot cast-iron skillet to caramelize the peaches. Cook them over medium-high heat until they develop a golden, slightly charred surface.
Q: Can I make the vinaigrette ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the basil lime vinaigrette up to 3 days ahead. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and shake well before using. You can also adjust the seasoning if needed after chilling.
Q: Are there alternatives to walnuts for the crumble?
A: If you're allergic to walnuts or prefer a different nut, pecans or almonds are excellent substitutes. For a nut-free option, you can use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, toasting them with honey and cinnamon in the same way.
Q: How can I customize the salad for a heartier meal?
A: To make the salad more filling, consider adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or prosciutto. Quinoa or farro can also be mixed in for extra protein and texture. Serve with crusty bread to make it more substantial.
