Equipment

  • Serving Platter
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe peaches sliced (yellow or white varieties)
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese substitute: fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens arugula, baby spinach, or mixed baby greens
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional for extra sweetness
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts or sliced almonds toasted
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest optional, for brightness

Instructions

  • Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut around the pit and twist the halves to separate them. Slice each half into 6-8 wedges.
  • Wash and dry your selected greens thoroughly. Place them on a large serving platter, creating a bed for your salad components.
  • Place the burrata in the center of the greens. You can keep it whole for a dramatic presentation or tear it into smaller pieces and distribute it throughout the salad.
  • Artfully distribute the peach slices around the burrata, creating a visually appealing pattern.
  • Scatter the torn basil leaves and toasted nuts across the salad. If using lemon zest, sprinkle it evenly for pops of color and citrus aroma.
  • Drizzle the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and optional honey over the entire salad. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the temperature and texture contrast at its peak.

Notes

This salad is best assembled just before serving to maintain the optimal texture and temperature contrast. For a more substantial meal, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas. You can substitute nectarines for peaches if preferred, and avocado can replace burrata for a dairy-free version.
