Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle for a refreshing and elegant dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons hot honey
  • Pinch of sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a few cracks (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Using a sharp knife, slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges, being gentle to avoid bruising.
  2. Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. On a serving platter, alternate slices of peach with spoonfuls or torn pieces of burrata, aiming for about 3-4 peach slices per serving.
  4. Tuck whole basil leaves between the peaches and burrata.
  5. Lightly drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the salad.
  6. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of hot honey over the salad. If making your own, gently warm 2 tablespoons of honey with a pinch of chili flakes before drizzling.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and a few cracks of black pepper over the top.
  8. Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the salad.
  9. Serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Burrata should be served at room temperature for optimal creaminess. Adjust hot honey amount to taste to avoid overpowering the salad. Toast pine nuts carefully to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with cashew cheese and hot honey with agave and chili powder.
