Ingredients
Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 3 peaches
- 4 slices prosciutto, cut into quarter pieces
- 2 tbsp basil, roughly chopped
Champagne Vinaigrette
- 1 tbsp champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp sea salt (plus extra flaky salt for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, then slice each half into 8 pieces, creating uniform wedges for the salad.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinegar, olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt until fully combined and emulsified. Set this dressing aside.
- Arrange the salad: On a serving platter, arrange the peach wedges evenly and tuck in the prosciutto pieces among them to distribute flavor and texture.
- Add burrata and dress: Place the whole burrata cheese on the platter, drizzle generously with the champagne vinaigrette, sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top, and finish with extra flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Enjoy the salad on its own as a refreshing dish or pair it with grilled bread for a more substantial appetizer or light meal.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture.
- For a vegan option, substitute burrata with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Adjust the amount of prosciutto to taste or omit for a vegetarian version.
- Grilled bread pairs beautifully with this salad for added crunch and flavor.
- Champagne vinegar can be replaced with white wine vinegar if unavailable.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of ingredients.
