Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe yellow peaches cut into wedges
  • 2 cups fresh arugula or mixed greens
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata torn into smaller pieces
  • 4 ounces sliced prosciutto
  • ½ cup red cherries pit removed and halved
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling (not balsamic vinegar)
  • Sea salt for finishing
  • Freshly ground black pepper for finishing
  • Baguette slices, toasted for serving

Instructions

  • Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit, and slice into wedges.
  • On a serving platter, arrange a bed of arugula or mixed greens. Then, layer the sliced peaches on top evenly.
  • Next, arrange the torn burrata cheese, prosciutto slices, and cherries on top.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with a few generous drizzles of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Finish with a touch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve fresh with toasted baguette slices. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches: Look for yellow peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and fragrant.
  • Dry your greens thoroughly using a salad spinner. Too much residual moisture can make the salad soggy.
  • Use balsamic GLAZE, not vinegar: Thick balsamic glaze adds sweet tang without overpowering. I use store-bought balsamic glaze, and it works great.
  • Layer, don’t toss: This salad is meant to be arranged beautifully, so the textures and colors shine.
  • Assemble just before serving: Burrata is delicate and best enjoyed fresh. Wait to drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze until right before serving.
  • You can also try grilling the peaches for even more flavor!
 
Substitutions and variations:
  • Peaches: Nectarine, apricots
  • Burrata: Fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, whipped ricotta, cottage cheese.
  • Cherries: Any berries.
  • Additions: Pistachios, pine nuts, avocado, tomatoes, melon.
