Print Recipe

A quick and easy 5-minute summer salad featuring ripe peaches, creamy burrata, and a sweet-tart balsamic reduction. Perfect for light meals or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz / 225 g), room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn or chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency that coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. While the reduction simmers, wash and slice 3 ripe peaches into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick. Pat dry if extra juicy.
  3. On a large serving plate or bowl, spread out the peach slices in a single layer. Tear the burrata ball into chunks and scatter over the peaches.
  4. Tear or roughly chop a small handful of fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the cheese and peaches.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil over everything, followed by the cooled balsamic reduction in a thin, even stream. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make the balsamic reduction up to two days in advance and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before drizzling. Assemble salad just before serving to keep peaches fresh and burrata creamy. Burrata tastes best at room temperature; let sit out for 15 minutes before assembling. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Optional nuts and lemon juice add texture and zing.
