Salad Ingredients

  • 2 fresh ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 ball of burrata cheese (about 4 to 6 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves, a small handful for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Wash and slice the fresh peaches into thin, even slices to ensure a balanced flavor distribution in the salad.
  2. Arrange the salad: On a serving plate, artfully arrange the peach slices evenly and place the burrata cheese in the center or slightly off-center for a rustic presentation.
  3. Drizzle olive oil: Lightly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the peaches and burrata to enhance the natural flavors and add richness.
  4. Garnish with basil: Tear or chiffonade the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the salad to add fresh herbal notes and a pop of green color.
  5. Serve immediately: Serve the salad fresh to enjoy the contrast of juicy peaches and creamy burrata at their best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
  • Burrata is best served fresh at room temperature for optimal creaminess.
  • For a slight variation, add a sprinkle of sea salt or freshly cracked black pepper.
  • This salad pairs well with crusty bread or as a side to grilled meats.
