Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Vegetables
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 4 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Dairy
- 1 ball burrata cheese (about 150g)
Condiments and Oils
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits and tomatoes: Wash the peaches and heirloom tomatoes thoroughly. Slice both into bite-sized pieces to ensure easy eating and harmonious mixing in the salad.
- Combine the base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced peaches and heirloom tomatoes so the flavors begin to blend without mashing the fruit.
- Add the burrata cheese: Tear the burrata ball into chunks and distribute them over the top of the peach and tomato mixture, adding creamy texture and rich flavor to the salad.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves evenly across the salad. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the fresh ingredients.
- Finish with balsamic glaze: Just before serving, drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze for a tangy sweetness that complements the peaches and tomatoes beautifully.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and flavor.
- If balsamic glaze is not available, reduce balsamic vinegar with a little sugar until syrupy.
- This salad is best served immediately to keep the burrata fresh and the fruits vibrant.
- For a vegan version, substitute burrata with a plant-based cheese or omit entirely.
