Peach Burrata Salad

A refreshing summer salad that pairs sweet, juicy peaches with creamy burrata, fresh herbs, and a tangy honey-balsamic dressing—ready in minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata cheese, drained and torn into large pieces
  • 2 cups (50 g) arugula or baby rocket
  • 1/4 cup (10 g) fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic glaze or thick balsamic reduction
  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts (optional, for crunch)

Instructions

  1. Arrange the arugula on a large serving platter or shallow bowl.
  2. Fan the peach slices over the greens, then nestle torn pieces of burrata evenly on top.
  3. Scatter basil leaves and toasted pine nuts across the salad.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic glaze, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until combined.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
  6. Serve immediately while the peaches are fresh and the burrata is creamy.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape when sliced.
  • Substitute nectarines if peaches are out of season.
  • Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a sweet-heat twist.
  • For extra protein, top with thin slices of prosciutto (omit for vegetarian).
