Description
A refreshing salad featuring juicy peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil, drizzled with honey-balsamic dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, room temperature
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional: a handful of arugula or baby spinach
- Optional: toasted pine nuts
- Optional: prosciutto slices
Instructions
- Wash and prepare the produce: gently rinse peaches, tomatoes, and basil. Slice the peaches into even wedges and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Arrange the base: on a large platter, lay down a bed of arugula or baby spinach if using. Scatter the tomato halves across the greens.
- Add the peaches: fan the peach wedges in overlapping layers around the platter.
- Place the burrata: gently plop the burrata in the center of the platter.
- Dress the salad: whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Drizzle evenly over the salad.
- Finish with flair: scatter torn basil leaves and toasted pine nuts, and a few grinds of black pepper.
Notes
Best eaten fresh; prepare peaches and tomatoes up to 2 hours ahead. Keep burrata and dressing separate until serving.
