A quick and elegant summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and fresh basil, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 46 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • About a handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • Pinch of sea salt (preferably flaky Maldon salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches. Slice each peach into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Remove burrata from packaging and gently pat dry. Tear into bite-sized chunks carefully.
  3. Arrange peach slices evenly on a serving platter, then nestle burrata pieces between them.
  4. Tear or fold prosciutto slices into loose ribbons and drape over peaches and burrata.
  5. Tear fresh basil leaves gently into medium-sized pieces and scatter on top.
  6. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar or glaze, sea salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and let sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or add a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.

Notes

Serve immediately after dressing to keep peaches fresh and burrata creamy. If prepping ahead, keep ingredients separate and combine just before serving. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Handle burrata gently to preserve creaminess. Use quality thinly sliced prosciutto to avoid overpowering saltiness. Fresh basil should be added last to maintain aroma and color. Dressing should be balanced and light.
