When the summer sun is at its peak, few things beckon like fresh, juicy peaches paired with delightfully creamy burrata. This Peach-Basil Burrata Salad harmonizes sweet, savory, and tangy flavors for a light meal that’s sure to please.

Ingredients

- 3 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
- 1 handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 ball of burrata cheese, torn into chunks
- 2 cups of baby arugula or mixed greens
- ¼ cup chopped toasted almonds
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (plus more to taste)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin with the base of your salad: scatter the baby arugula or mixed greens on a serving platter. Gently place the sliced peaches on top of the greens, nestling them so every bite will have a hint of sweetness. Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces, tucking them among the peaches. Sprinkle chopped toasted almonds for a satisfying crunch, and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Next, arrange the fresh basil leaves around the burrata and peaches—placing whole leaves or tearing them into small pieces, depending on your preference. Drizzle the entire dish with extra-virgin olive oil, allowing it to mingle with the burrata. Follow with a silky drizzle of balsamic glaze. If you love balsamic, feel free to add a bit extra for more tang.

Before serving, take a moment to admire your creation: the juicy peaches glistening under the balsamic glaze, the creamy burrata drawing you in, and those bright basil leaves adding a pop of freshness.
This salad is perfect for a light lunch, a colorful potluck offering, or a simple starter for a larger meal. The thoughtful blend of fresh peaches, pillowy burrata, and fragrant basil provides a delightful mix of textures and flavors. You can swap out almonds for other nuts or seeds, such as pistachios or sunflower seeds, and experiment with different greens if you like. Whether you’re seeking a nutritious option or just want a summery dish that’s both inviting and elegant, this Peach-Basil Burrata Salad checks all the boxes.
