Print Recipe

A fresh and satisfying summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet balsamic reduction glaze. Perfect for quick, elegant meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for crunch

Instructions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently to combine and bring to a simmer (3-5 minutes).
  2. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from heat and transfer the balsamic reduction to a small bowl to cool.
  4. Wash and dry peaches. Slice into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
  5. Tear or slice burrata into chunks and arrange on a serving plate. Place peach slices around and on top of the cheese.
  6. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the peaches and burrata. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad.
  8. Drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction over the entire salad.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds on top before serving.
  10. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

Watch the balsamic reduction closely to avoid burning; stir gently and be patient. Use ripe peaches for best flavor and texture. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or ricotta if unavailable. For a smoky twist, grill peach slices before assembling. Store components separately if making ahead and consume within 24 hours.
