Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
- 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese
- 4 oz (115 g) thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- A handful of fresh basil leaves
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds
- Optional: a few arugula leaves
Instructions
- Rinse and gently pat dry the peaches. Slice them thinly into crescent shapes about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and arrange on a serving platter.
- Tear or fold prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and scatter over and around the peach slices.
- Tear the burrata into chunks or leave whole and nestle among the peaches and prosciutto.
- Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salad.
- Drizzle aged balsamic vinegar evenly over the salad, followed by extra virgin olive oil. Optionally whisk together before drizzling.
- Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter across the salad. Add torn mint leaves or arugula if desired.
- Optionally sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds on top for crunch.
- Serve immediately or within 30 minutes for best freshness.
Notes
Use ripe peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure for best flavor. Add balsamic vinegar at the end to keep flavors bright and avoid sogginess. Serve immediately or within 30 minutes to keep burrata creamy and peaches fresh. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or ricotta if unavailable. For a dairy-free version, use vegan creamy cheese and omit prosciutto or substitute with marinated mushrooms or smoked tempeh.
