A quick and easy summer salad combining ripe peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and fresh basil, dressed with olive oil and lemon juice for a refreshing and elegant dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata, drained and torn into pieces
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: A handful of toasted pine nuts or walnuts for added crunch

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the peaches into thin wedges about 1/4-inch thick, taking care not to press too hard.
  2. Drain the burrata and tear it gently into bite-sized chunks.
  3. Arrange the peach slices evenly in a single layer on a serving platter.
  4. Tear the prosciutto into smaller strips or pieces and scatter over the peaches.
  5. Distribute the burrata pieces evenly over the salad, followed by torn basil leaves.
  6. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice over everything.
  7. Add a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top for added texture.
  9. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor and texture. Handle burrata gently to preserve its creamy texture. Prepare just before serving to avoid sogginess. Optional toasted nuts add crunch. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or dairy-free alternatives for dietary needs.
