Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, gently torn
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for extra crunch
Instructions
- Wash and slice the peaches into 1/4-inch thick wedges, being careful not to mush them.
- Gently tear the burrata into large chunks. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if refrigerated.
- Arrange the salad by alternating peach slices with burrata pieces on a serving platter, scattering basil leaves in between.
- Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salad.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly across the salad, then drizzle balsamic glaze on top.
- Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for added texture.
- Serve immediately, or cover lightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, bringing to room temperature before serving.
Notes
Use firm but ripe peaches for best texture. Tear burrata gently just before serving to keep its creamy texture. Assemble salad last minute to avoid sogginess. Optional to add a splash of fresh lemon juice before assembling to add brightness. Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar over low heat until syrupy.
