Ingredients
3 ripe peaches sliced thinly
2 balls of burrata cheese about 4 oz each
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
2 cups arugula or mixed greens optional
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Prep the Ingredients: Wash the peaches and slice them into thin wedges. If using cherry tomatoes, slice them in half. Gently tear the burrata into halves or quarters.
Assemble the Salad: On a serving platter or large plate, arrange a base of arugula or mixed greens (if using). Place the torn burrata cheese in the center or scattered throughout the greens.
Layer Peaches & Tomatoes: Fan out the peach slices around or over the burrata. Add cherry tomatoes if desired for extra color and acidity.
Add Fresh Basil: Tuck fresh basil leaves in between peaches and cheese. You can leave them whole or tear them for a more rustic look.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the entire salad. Be generous but don’t overdress.
Season & Serve: Sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper over the top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
For the absolute best texture and flavor, remove the burrata cheese from the refrigerator about 15-20 minutes before assembling so it reaches room temperature.
If peaches aren’t perfectly ripe, you can grill the slices for 1-2 minutes per side to bring out their natural sugars.
A high-quality, thick balsamic glaze works best here rather than regular balsamic vinegar, as it clings beautifully to the cheese and fruit without making the greens soggy.
Serve alongside toasted baguette slices or crusty ciabatta bread to scoop up the creamy cheese and juices.
