Print Recipe

A light and refreshing salad featuring ripe peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet balsamic reduction, perfect for summer gatherings and quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • ½ cup (120 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Stir gently until combined.
  2. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Reduce heat if it starts bubbling too aggressively.
  3. Wash and dry 3-4 ripe peaches. Using a sharp knife, slice them into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick. Handle gently to avoid bruising. Set aside.
  4. Remove the burrata from its container and let it rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften.
  5. On a large serving platter, arrange the peach slices in an overlapping pattern or scattered freely for a rustic look.
  6. Tear the burrata into chunks and nestle them among the peaches.
  7. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves over the top.
  8. Spoon the warm balsamic reduction in thin ribbons over the peaches and burrata.
  9. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the salad.
  10. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes and several cracks of freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

If the balsamic reduction thickens too much, stir in a teaspoon of water to loosen it. Serve the salad immediately for best texture. Burrata should be at room temperature for creaminess. Store components separately if preparing ahead.
