Ingredients

8 oz burrata cheese
3 peaches
4 slices prosciutto, cut into quarter pieces
2 tbsp basil, roughly chopped
1 tbsp champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
3 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prep your peaches by cutting them in half, removing the pit, and slicing each half into 8 pieces.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinegar, olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt until well combined. Set the vinaigrette aside.
Step 3: On a serving platter, arrange the peach slices and tuck in the quartered prosciutto pieces evenly around them.
Step 4: Place the whole burrata cheese in the center of the platter. Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad, sprinkle with chopped basil, and add extra flaky salt on top to taste.
Step 5: Serve the salad on its own or alongside grilled bread for a simple and elegant appetizer or light meal.

Tips & Variations

For a sweeter touch, drizzle a little honey over the salad before serving.
Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella if unavailable, though burrata’s creaminess adds special richness.
Add a handful of arugula or mixed greens for extra freshness and color.
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture in the salad.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 1 day for best freshness. Burrata and peaches are best enjoyed fresh, so avoid reheating. Keep prosciutto separate if possible to maintain texture.

How to Serve

The dish is presented in a white bowl on a white marbled surface, with three layers clearly visible. The bottom layer consists of thinly folded pink prosciutto slices, creating a soft and slightly wrinkled texture. On top of the prosciutto, bright orange and red peach slices form the second layer, their smooth, juicy skin adding vibrant color contrast. The third layer is made of dollops of soft, white burrata cheese, placed evenly over the peaches, with small green basil leaves scattered on and around the cheese for a fresh touch.

FAQs

Can I use canned or frozen peaches for this salad?

Fresh peaches are recommended for the best flavor and texture, but if unavailable, fresh-frozen peaches can be used after thawing. Avoid canned peaches as they tend to be too soft and syrupy.

What can I serve with this salad?

This salad pairs beautifully with grilled bread, crusty baguette, or as a light starter alongside a chilled glass of white wine or rosé.
