Print Recipe

A bright and creamy summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a refreshing twist on the classic Caprese.

Ingredients

  • Fresh peaches (ripe but firm, sliced)
  • Creamy burrata cheese (about 8 oz / 225 g)
  • Fresh basil leaves (about 1/4 cup / 6 g)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons / 30 ml)
  • Balsamic glaze (2 tablespoons / 30 ml)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts (1/4 cup / 30 g)

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the peaches: Rinse peaches under cool water, pat dry. Cut into thin wedges about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick, removing the pit carefully.
  2. Prepare the burrata: Gently tear the burrata into smaller pieces or slices, being delicate to preserve the creamy interior. Set aside.
  3. Arrange the salad: On your serving platter, alternate slices of peach and burrata, overlapping slightly for a layered effect.
  4. Add fresh basil leaves: Tear or leave whole, scatter over the peaches and cheese evenly.
  5. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of extra virgin olive oil over the salad. Then drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern.
  6. Season: Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  7. Optional finishing touch: Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle on top for crunch.
  8. Rest briefly: Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Tear burrata gently by hand just before plating to keep it creamy. If peaches are very juicy, blot excess juice with a paper towel to prevent watery salad. Assemble close to serving time to maintain freshness. Use lemon juice on peaches if prepping early to prevent browning. Toast pine nuts carefully to avoid burning.
