straight up veg

With the sun shining and weather becoming more pleasant in my city, I wanted something refreshing and sweet to enjoy on my balcony.

Though none of these fruits/veggies are in season right now, I have had these over the last couple weeks from my local whole foods, and they have all been so extremely delicious, even off season – though if you’re not as lucky as me, I would recommend making this sometime between July – September.

The sweet fruit and veg with the acidity from the vinegar is literal perfection paired with the mild and creamy burrata. I could eat this all day every day.
