No matter the season, it makes sense to eat what’s fresh and naturally available for good health from the inside out. Summer foods tend to be cold – think salads and fruit that naturally contain water, which your body needs especially during the warmer months.

“Work with the new season to eat fresh food that's available at this time of year.”

Break the burrata or mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl with the figs. Add the rocket and mix well to make sure everything is evenly distributed.
