Ingredients

  • 2 ripe peaches sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peaches and Tomatoes

  • Start by washing your peaches and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the peaches into thin wedges, making sure to remove the pit. Halve the cherry tomatoes to release their juicy sweetness and enhance the flavor distribution throughout the salad.

Step 2: Arrange the Salad

  • On a large serving platter or individual plates, start layering the salad. Alternate slices of peach with dollops or torn pieces of burrata cheese. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves evenly over the top, creating a colorful and inviting presentation.

Step 3: Dress the Salad

  • Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the assembled ingredients. These two simple dressings bring out the natural sweetness of the peaches and tomatoes while adding a subtle tang. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste – don’t be shy, as this seasoning makes all the flavors pop.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

  • Peach Burrata Caprese Salad is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right away to savor the creamy texture of the burrata and the juicy freshness of the peaches. If you want, pair it with crusty bread or as a side to your favorite grilled dishes.

Notes

  • Choose the ripest peaches for the best sweetness and juiciness.
  • Let the burrata come to room temperature before serving for a creamier texture.
  • Use fresh basil leaves and tear them by hand to preserve their flavor.
  • Add toasted nuts like pine nuts or almonds for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and add dressing just before serving again.
