Print Recipe

A light and refreshing summer salad combining sweet peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and olive oil. Perfect for quick, fuss-free meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, sliced thinly
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Balsamic glaze, drizzle to taste
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for crunch

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Slice them into thin wedges about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Arrange the peach slices on a large serving platter in an overlapping circle or rows.
  3. Gently tear the burrata ball into large chunks and place evenly over the peaches.
  4. Scatter fresh basil leaves generously over the peaches and burrata.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad.
  6. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salad, balancing the amount to not overpower the peaches.
  7. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds over the top for added crunch.
  9. Let the salad rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Handle burrata gently to preserve its creamy center. Drizzle balsamic glaze lightly to avoid overpowering the salad. Let the salad rest briefly before serving to meld flavors. For dairy-free options, substitute burrata with cashew cream or avocado slices. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or plums if out of season.
