Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 ripe peaches yellow or white varieties
2 balls fresh burrata cheese 8 oz total
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn or whole small leaves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional Additions

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or pistachios

Instructions

Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat dry. Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and slice into 1/2-inch wedges.
For grilled peach option: brush peach halves lightly with olive oil, and grill cut-side down for 2 minutes per side until grill marks appear but peaches still maintain their shape.
On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange the peach slices in an attractive pattern, creating a foundation for your salad. If using grilled peaches, allow them to cool for 5 minutes before plating.
Gently tear or cut open the burrata balls and place them in the center of the arranged peaches. The creamy interior should slightly spill out.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the peaches and burrata. Add a light drizzle of honey for enhanced sweetness.
Scatter the fresh basil leaves throughout the dish, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
If using nuts, sprinkle them over the salad just before serving for a delightful textural contrast.

Notes

Remove the burrata from refrigeration 15 minutes before serving to enhance its creamy texture and flavor profile.

For best results, use peaches that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape when sliced.

This salad is best enjoyed immediately after assembly, as the burrata begins to lose its texture after about 30 minutes at room temperature.
