Tomato, Peach, and Burrata Salad

How my symptoms showed up

• POTS: felt flushed and weak rather than dizzy; standing still made things worse than walking

• Migraine: no head pain, but pressure sensitivity around my temples and jaw

• Lupus: skin felt reactive and warm; fatigue paired with a mild “sick” heaviness

Disorder safety check

Condition	Verdict	Notes
POTS	Helpful	Cooling + salt helped with flushing
Lupus	Safe	No inflammatory load; skin tolerated well
Vestibular migraine	Safe	No sharp flavors or sugar spike

Ingredients (1 serving)

• Ripe tomatoes, sliced thick

• Ripe peach, sliced

• Burrata cheese

• Fresh basil or spinach

• Olive oil

• Salt and black pepper

• Optional: chili flakes or lemon zest

How I made it

1. Slice and rest: Slice tomatoes and peaches into wedges. Arrange on a plate and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit 3–5 minutes so juices release.

2. Add burrata: Place burrata on the plate and tear it open gently so it spreads into the fruit.

3. Finish: Drizzle olive oil generously. Add basil or spinach. Finish with black pepper and optional chili flakes or zest if tolerated.
