Description

This Summer Peach Burrata Salad is a fresh and elegant combination of juicy ripe peaches, creamy burrata cheese, peppery arugula, and fragrant basil. Enhanced with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and sweet balsamic glaze, and topped with crunchy toasted pistachios, it makes for a perfect light and refreshing summer salad ideal for warm weather dining.

Ingredients

Produce

  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Dairy

  • 2 balls burrata cheese, about 4 oz (115 g) each

Pantry

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Arrange greens: Spread the fresh arugula evenly on a large serving platter to create a flavorful base for the salad.
  2. Add fruit and herbs: Layer the sliced ripe peaches and fresh basil leaves over the arugula, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor in each bite.
  3. Place burrata: Position the burrata cheese balls in the center of the platter or divide the cheese among serving portions to ensure everyone enjoys the creamy texture.
  4. Drizzle dressing: Lightly drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and the sweet balsamic glaze over the top to enhance flavors and add moisture.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle toasted pistachios along with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salad for texture contrast and seasoning.
  6. Serve: Present immediately while the burrata remains fresh and creamy, maximizing flavor and texture enjoyment.

Notes

  • Choose peaches that are ripe but firm enough to slice cleanly without becoming mushy.
  • Nectarines make a great substitute for peaches if preferred.
  • Add thin slices of prosciutto for a savory twist to the salad.
  • Toasted almonds or walnuts can be used instead of pistachios for a different nutty flavor.
  • For optimal taste, let the burrata sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving.
