Print Recipe

A bright and easy summer salad combining ripe peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a refreshing and indulgent dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm, sliced
  • 1 ball (8 oz / 225 g) creamy burrata cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • Optional: A couple of handfuls of arugula

Instructions

  1. Rinse peaches under cool water and pat dry. Slice each peach into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Arrange peach slices in a single layer on a serving platter, overlapping slightly.
  3. Gently tear burrata into chunks or leave whole and place in the center of the peaches.
  4. Scatter torn or whole basil leaves evenly over the peaches and burrata.
  5. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad, then drizzle balsamic glaze in a thin, even pattern.
  6. Sprinkle flaky sea salt lightly over the top, followed by freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Optional: Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes, then sprinkle on top. Alternatively, add arugula beneath or around the salad.
  8. Optional: Let the salad rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and burrata to soften.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Burrata should be handled gently and served at room temperature for creaminess. If balsamic glaze is unavailable, reduce balsamic vinegar over medium heat until syrupy. Optional additions like pine nuts and arugula add texture and flavor. For vegan adaptation, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese and use a maple syrup-based balsamic reduction.
