Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe, juicy fresh peaches, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, or preferred mix)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Gently wash and thinly slice the fresh peaches, leaving the skin on for extra color and texture. Ensure the peaches are ripe yet firm enough to hold their shape.
  2. Arrange the Greens: Place a generous handful of mixed greens like arugula or baby spinach at the base of your serving plate or bowl to create a fresh, peppery bed for the toppings.
  3. Add Burrata and Peaches: Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter it evenly over the greens. Layer the peach slices on top, so each bite contains creamy cheese and juicy fruit.
  4. Drizzle With Dressing: Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy accent that ties all the flavors together.
  5. Garnish and Season: Finish with fresh basil leaves, a pinch of salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and, if desired, toasted nuts for added crunch and texture. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm peaches to avoid a mushy salad texture.
  • Allow burrata to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for creamier texture and enhanced flavor.
  • Use a high-quality, fruity extra virgin olive oil to elevate the taste of the salad.
  • Drizzle balsamic glaze sparingly to prevent overpowering the delicate peaches and cheese.
  • If using nuts, toast them lightly to release their natural flavor without burning.
  • Store burrata separately if preparing ahead to avoid wateriness.
  • Best served immediately after assembling for optimal texture and freshness.
