Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, whole or torn
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: toasted almonds or candied pecans for crunch
Instructions
- Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Slice them into thin, even pieces, removing the pits. The ripe peaches should be sweet and juicy for maximum flavor.
- Arrange the peach slices on a serving platter. Distribute torn pieces of burrata cheese evenly over the peaches, creating an appetizing presentation. Add fresh basil leaves over the top to infuse the salad with aromatic flavor.
- Drizzle the olive oil generously over the entire salad, followed by a drizzle of balsamic glaze or vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. If desired, sprinkle toasted almonds or candied pecans on top for added crunch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients. This salad pairs beautifully with crusty bread or as a side dish to grilled meats. For more summer recipes, visit our article on Sweet Refreshing Summer Chicken with Peaches.
