Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
- 2 balls burrata cheese (about 4 oz each)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the peaches and slice them into thin wedges. Halve the cherry tomatoes if using, and gently tear the burrata into halves or quarters.
- Arrange the arugula or mixed greens on a large serving platter.
- Place the burrata over the greens.
- Arrange the peach slices around and over the burrata, then scatter the cherry tomatoes on top.
- Tuck the fresh basil leaves throughout the salad.
- Drizzle with olive oil followed by the balsamic glaze.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve immediately and enjoy while the burrata is creamy and the peaches are fresh.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
- Let the burrata sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving for maximum creaminess.
- Fresh mozzarella can be substituted if burrata isn’t available.
- Add toasted walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- For a complete meal, top with grilled chicken or shrimp.
- Assemble just before serving to keep the greens crisp.
