Recent Peach Burrata Salad Recipe

Full of taste and texture, this peach burrata salad has develop into my primary summer time salad! It’s excellent for a light-weight summer time meal or as a recent, summery aspect dish.

Since peaches got here into season this yr, I’ve been making this recent peach salad on repeat. You already know I really like our salad recipes, however this peach and burrata salad has rapidly develop into the salad of the summer time, to the purpose the place I’m begging you to cease what you’re doing and get recent peaches proper now so you can also make it!

It’s bought all the pieces you want: recent, candy peaches, creamy burrata cheese, a zippy dressing, summer time herbs, and buttery toasted nuts for some crunch. I’m obsessed and suppose you’ll be, too. Get pleasure from as a summery dinner or on the aspect in your subsequent cookout with grilled rooster, marinated pork chops, or grilled steak!

Key Elements

• Peaches: That is the salad you make when peaches are in season. We wish sweet-smelling peaches which are nonetheless ever-so-slightly agency to the contact. The marginally firmer peaches maintain up somewhat higher within the salad. Nectarines or recent apricots are additionally nice substitutes. In case you have some peaches left over, use them to make this excellent peach sangria or my vanilla peach muffins for the morning.
• Burrata: Peaches and burrata are certainly one of my favourite combos, however you may swap the burrata for home made labneh, ricotta, whipped ricotta, or whipped feta. Actually, something that’s bought some creaminess will do. If you happen to do use burrata, for that quintessential creamy texture, it must be nearer to room temperature, not straight from the fridge. Thirty minutes on the counter does the trick (for the reason that salad takes about 20 minutes, I pull the cheese out 10 minutes earlier than I begin).
• Basil and Parsley: As with so lots of my favourite summer time recipes, we’re heavy-handed with the recent herbs. Use any number of basil (Genovese, Thai, Opal, and so on.), then for the parsley, I want the feel of flat-leaf.
• Onion: I really like thinly sliced candy onion with the peaches (suppose Walla Walla or Vidalia). Since they sit within the dressing a bit, they soften up, and work actually properly with the sweetness of the fruit.
• Pine nuts: You possibly can’t beat buttery, toasted pine nuts, however I do know they are often fairly expensive, so be happy to substitute one thing else, similar to sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and even sunflower seeds.
• Vinegar, Lemon, and Olive Oil: I really like the flavour of champagne vinegar (prosecco vinegar is good, too). If you happen to don’t have that, strive rice wine vinegar as an alternative. For the lemon, recent is greatest. Any high-quality olive oil will work right here.
• Salt, Sugar, and Pepper: We use salt and sugar within the dressing and to marinate our peaches. They each work to attract out the flavour of the peaches and salad. You don’t want loads, however they’re a strong combo. I want recent floor black pepper, however use what you have got.
• Balsamic Glaze: That is our crowning glory. A fast drizzle of thick, candy balsamic glaze actually takes this salad to the following stage. You possibly can usually discover balsamic glaze within the condiment aisle of most grocery shops. It’s sweeter and thicker than common balsamic. If you happen to can’t discover any, you can also make it (I’ve offered suggestions beneath our recipe) or use a high-quality balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, which is often thicker and sweeter by default.
