Print Recipe

A fresh and vibrant summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata, and fragrant basil with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. This easy and quick dish is perfect for warm days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced (firm but juicy; freestone peaches recommended)
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or whole
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for crunch

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, slice the peaches into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick, keeping slices uniform.
  2. On a serving platter, alternate slices of peach with small spoonfuls or torn pieces of burrata. Spread fresh basil leaves evenly over the fruit and cheese.
  3. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad. Follow with 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze, swirling gently for a pretty finish.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. If using, scatter toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds across the top for texture contrast.
  6. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow flavors to meld and burrata to soften slightly.

Notes

Use ripe peaches that give slightly under gentle pressure but are not mushy. Burrata should be at room temperature for best creaminess. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze slowly to avoid overpowering flavors. Prepare salad just before serving for best freshness. Optional nuts add crunch. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese.
