Print Recipe

A light and refreshing summer salad combining juicy fresh peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet-tangy honey balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick lunches or entertaining guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe fresh peaches, sliced thinly
  • 2 balls burrata cheese (about 8 ounces or 225 grams total)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or whole
  • 2 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (preferably aged or balsamic glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the honey balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Stir gently and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Set aside to cool.
  2. Wash and dry the peaches. Using a sharp knife, slice into thin wedges about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Gently tear or slice the burrata into large chunks, handling carefully to keep the creamy center intact.
  4. On a large platter or individual plates, layer arugula or mixed greens if using. Alternate slices of peach with burrata chunks, tucking fresh basil leaves in between.
  5. Drizzle the honey balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the top.
  7. Serve immediately, best enjoyed within 30 minutes of assembly.

Notes

Use ripe peaches that are tender but not mushy for best flavor and texture. Handle burrata gently to preserve its creamy center. Reduce balsamic vinegar with honey to create a thick glaze that balances sweetness and acidity. Assemble salad just before serving to keep ingredients fresh. The honey balsamic glaze can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
