Description
A vibrant summer salad pairing juicy peaches with creamy burrata and a drizzle of honey. The sweet-tangy balance of fruits, cheese, and herbs makes this a light yet indulgent starter perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients
2 large white peaches, freestone varieties preferred
180g (6oz) burrata (or mozzarella if unavailable)
1 tablespoon honey, preferably raw/local variety
12 fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, light-flavored
1 teaspoon balsamic glaze (optional)
1 teaspoon cane sugar (for optional caramelized peaches)
Instructions
Slice peaches into ½” wedges and cut open burrata gently
Rinse and pat dry basil leaves
Arrange peaches, burrata, and basil on a serving plate in a radial pattern
Drizzle honey, olive oil, and balsamic glaze (if using) evenly over components
Optional: Lightly sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar on peaches and broil 4 inches from heat for 30 seconds for caramelized edges
Notes
Ripen peaches fully before use for maximum sweetness
For best texture, bring burrata to room temperature by placing in an ice water bath for 20 minutes if serving cold
Bake peaches at 400°F/200°C for 5 minutes for golden caramelized edges
Infuse honey with lemon zest 24 hours in advance for added aroma
Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella if preferred
