Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring caramelized peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

  • Fresh peaches – ripe but firm, sliced into wedges
  • Burrata cheese – one large ball or several small ones, at room temperature
  • Fresh basil leaves – whole, washed and patted dry
  • Extra virgin olive oil – about 2 tablespoons
  • Balsamic vinegar or glaze – 2 tablespoons
  • Honey – 1 teaspoon (optional)
  • Sea salt – a pinch
  • Freshly ground black pepper – a few cracks
  • Toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds (optional, for crunch)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half, remove the pit, then slice each half into 4–6 wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add peach slices in a single layer without crowding. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Cook peaches undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until edges turn golden and caramelized. Flip gently and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Tear burrata into bite-sized pieces or leave whole. Let it come to room temperature.
  5. Arrange alternating slices of caramelized peaches and burrata on a serving platter. Scatter fresh basil leaves evenly on top.
  6. Drizzle remaining olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a light pinch of sea salt. Add toasted pine nuts if desired.
  7. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Pat peaches dry if extra juicy before caramelizing to avoid excess liquid. Keep heat moderate to prevent burning sugars. Let burrata sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes for best texture. Toast nuts for added crunch. Can substitute burrata with mozzarella or dairy-free alternatives.
