Sahar's Summer Burrata Salad with Crunchy Peanut PODI
Chef Sahar, the executive chef at Chai Pani Atlanta, is a dear friend who champions local produce and seasonality on her menu. She generously shared this recipe with us. In true Sahar fashion, she somehow took all the delicious things I associate with summer - peaches, corn, tomatoes - and created this recipe that is INCREDIBLY delightful! I was shocked by how well it all comes together. Crunchy Peanut subtly adds so much to this recipe and I loved making it as much as eating it! Hope you get to try it too :)
