I am always annoyed by people who completely change a recipe before ever making it the way it is written. I always try to follow a recipe exactly as written the first time, then make modifications as necessary the next time. Tonight I broke my own rule. The recipe looked great, but I didn't have (and couldn't get) a number of the ingredients. SO - I used cherry tomatoes instead of heirloom, a combination of peaches and plums (because I had some really good plums and peaches that needed to be used up,) bocconcini instead of burrata, and regular balsamic vinegar instead of white balsamic. The result was SO fresh and light! sweet but also tangy!  Next time I promise to try the recipe as written, but sometimes necessary substitutions yield a great result.
