Print Recipe

A light and refreshing summer salad combining ripe peaches, creamy burrata cheese, salty prosciutto, and fresh basil for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, sliced
  • 8 oz (225g) burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 4 oz (115g) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 15–20 fresh basil leaves, washed and gently torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: handful of arugula or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 3-4 ripe peaches. Slice them thinly into even wedges, about 1/4 inch thick (about 6 mm). Set aside.
  2. On a large platter or salad bowl, lay down a bed of arugula or baby spinach if using, or leave it bare for a minimalist look. Spread the peach slices evenly over the surface.
  3. Tear the burrata gently into chunks or pull it apart with your hands, placing dollops throughout the peaches. Let burrata sit 10 minutes before assembling if cold.
  4. Fold or loosely bunch 4 oz (115g) thin slices of prosciutto and arrange over the peaches and burrata.
  5. Tear or leave whole about 15-20 fresh basil leaves and sprinkle evenly on top.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad. Add 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze in a thin zigzag if desired. Finish with a pinch of sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to mingle before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Let burrata come to room temperature before assembling for best flavor and texture. Prepare peaches and basil ahead but add burrata and prosciutto just before serving to keep textures fresh. Optional to drizzle balsamic glaze or substitute with balsamic vinegar. Salad is best served fresh and at room temperature. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge and consume within 24 hours.
