Summer Tomato Peach Burrata Delight

Print Recipe

This refreshing salad combines juicy peaches, sweet cherry tomatoes, and creamy burrata for a delightful summer dish. Drizzled with balsamic glaze and sprinkled with fresh basil, it’s a feast for the eyes and the palate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, torn
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the peaches and cherry tomatoes under cold running water for about 30 seconds to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. Slice the peaches into wedges, aiming for about 1/2-inch thick slices. A ripe peach should yield easily to pressure, indicating it's ready to eat. Avoid cutting too thin, as they might become mushy.
  3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside. Look for vibrant colors; they should be firm to the touch but yield slightly when pressed.
  4. In a large serving bowl, combine the sliced peaches and halved tomatoes. Gently mix with a spoon to avoid bruising the fruit.
  5. Tear the burrata cheese into bite-sized pieces, creating a rustic look, and gently add it to the bowl, spacing it evenly among the peaches and tomatoes.
  6. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, ensuring even coverage over the salad. The oil should glisten but not pool at the bottom of the bowl.
  7. Next, add 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze. This adds a sweet tang that balances the salad beautifully. Drizzle it in a circular motion to distribute evenly.
  8. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, remembering that a little salt can enhance the natural sweetness of the fruit.
  9. Gently toss the salad just enough to combine all ingredients, ensuring the burrata remains intact. You want to see the gorgeous colors without smashing the cheese.
  10. Finally, toss in the freshly chopped basil leaves. They should smell fragrant and bright, adding a fresh layer to the dish. Serve immediately for the best flavor experience!
