Due to its mild Mediterranean climate, Sicily's sweet and luscious stone fruits begin to ripen at the beginning of summer and are available through to the beginning of autumn. Draped with thin shavings of prosciutto, creamy burrata, and fresh basil, this fresh salad is, quite simply, addictive. Serve with a cold bottle of Garganega.
