Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad combining ripe peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a bright, fresh flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Rinse peaches under cool water and pat dry. Slice into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
  2. Gently tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and place in serving bowl or platter.
  3. Wash and dry basil leaves thoroughly. Tear or chiffonade basil to release aroma.
  4. Arrange peach slices around and over burrata in bowl or platter. Scatter basil leaves evenly on top.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil evenly over salad, followed by 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
  6. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If using, scatter toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
  7. Gently toss salad if desired, being careful not to break up burrata. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Tear burrata by hand to keep creamy texture intact. Assemble salad close to serving time to prevent sogginess. Burrata should be at room temperature for best creaminess. Optional: lightly grill peach slices for smoky flavor. Substitute fresh mozzarella for burrata or use arugula instead of basil for variation. For dairy-free option, replace burrata with cashew ricotta or avocado slices.
