Summer is around the corner, and we are ready for salad season! Nothing quite beats a sunny afternoon in the park, tucking into some crusty bread and stone fruit. We love visiting the Saturday market in Leith, where you will find so many fresh fruit and vegetable delights, as well as lots of delicious freshly baked goods, including the crunchy sourdough pictured below.

Panzanella is traditionally a Tuscan or Umbrian chopped salad with soaked stale bread, with cucumbers, tomatoes and olive oil, but there is nothing stopping us from putting a twist on a classic. Like strawberries, there are so many juicy fruits that pair perfectly with balsamic, like ripe nectarines, peaches and red cherries and we love putting all of this together in this delightfully summery salad. Add in some creamy burrata to take the sweet and sharp edge off, and you’ve got a wonderful combination.

If bready salad isn’t your thing, you could also switch this up again to make some bruschette, with a few slices of prosciutto thrown on there for good measure.
