A refreshing summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet-tangy honey-balsamic glaze. Perfect for light meals, gatherings, or as a sophisticated starter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced thinly
  • 8 ounces (225g) creamy burrata cheese, torn or sliced gently
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (or substitute with fresh mint)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (aged or glaze-style)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a light sprinkle (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted nuts (sliced almonds or chopped pistachios, optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the peaches under cool water, then slice them thinly about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine the peach slices with torn fresh basil leaves. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss lightly to mix without bruising the fruit.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil until smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.
  4. Arrange the peach and basil mixture on a serving platter. Tear or slice the burrata cheese and distribute evenly over the top. Sprinkle toasted nuts if using.
  5. Drizzle the honey-balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
  6. Optional: Let the salad rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to meld flavors and soften burrata.

Notes

Use peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Tear burrata by hand to preserve creaminess. Toss peaches gently to prevent bruising. Prepare peaches and basil ahead but add burrata and glaze just before serving to keep salad fresh. Substitute goat cheese or vegan cheese for burrata if desired. Nuts are optional and can be omitted for allergies.
