Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata cheese
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: a handful of toasted pistachios or walnuts for crunch
Instructions
- Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Slice them into thin, even slices and set aside. The natural sweetness of ripe peaches complements the creamy burrata perfectly, making this dish a delightful treat.
- Arrange the peach slices on a large serving platter. Tuck whole or torn basil leaves among the peach slices for a fresh aroma. Gently place the burrata cheese in the center or evenly distribute small chunks across the peaches.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil generously over the salad. Follow with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Add toasted pistachios or walnuts on top for added texture and richness. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and creaminess at their best.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Serve immediately after assembling to preserve the freshness of the ingredients.
- Can be prepared ahead by slicing peaches and assembling, but add burrata and nuts just before serving to prevent sogginess and maintain texture.
