Recent Peach Burrata Salad Recipe

Filled with taste and texture, this peach burrata salad has develop into my primary summer time salad! It’s good for a lightweight summer time meal or as a recent, summery aspect dish.

Since peaches got here into season this yr, I’ve been making this recent peach salad on repeat. You realize I really like our salad recipes, however this peach and burrata salad has rapidly develop into the salad of the summer time, to the purpose the place I’m begging you to cease what you might be doing and get recent peaches proper now so you may make it!

It’s acquired all the things you want: recent, candy peaches, creamy burrata cheese, a zippy dressing, summer time herbs, and buttery toasted nuts for some crunch. I’m obsessed and assume you can be, too. Get pleasure from as a summery dinner or on the aspect to your subsequent cookout with grilled hen, marinated pork chops, or grilled steak!

Key Components

• Peaches: That is the salad you make when peaches are in season. We wish sweet-smelling peaches which might be nonetheless ever-so-slightly agency to the contact. The marginally firmer peaches maintain up a little bit higher within the salad. Nectarines or recent apricots are additionally nice substitutes. You probably have some peaches left over, use them to make this good peach sangria or my vanilla peach muffins for the morning.
• Burrata: Peaches and burrata are considered one of my favourite mixtures, however you’ll be able to swap the burrata for selfmade labneh, ricotta, whipped ricotta, or whipped feta. Actually, something that’s acquired some creaminess will do. In the event you do use burrata, for that quintessential creamy texture, it must be nearer to room temperature, not straight from the fridge. Thirty minutes on the counter does the trick (because the salad takes about 20 minutes, I pull the cheese out 10 minutes earlier than I begin).
• Basil and Parsley: As with so lots of my favourite summer time recipes, we’re heavy-handed with the recent herbs. Use any number of basil (Genovese, Thai, Opal, and so on.), then for the parsley, I favor the feel of flat-leaf.
• Onion: I really like thinly sliced candy onion with the peaches (assume Walla Walla or Vidalia). Since they sit within the dressing a bit, they soften up, and work actually properly with the sweetness of the fruit.
• Pine nuts: You possibly can’t beat buttery, toasted pine nuts, however I do know they are often fairly dear, so be happy to substitute one thing else, corresponding to sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and even sunflower seeds.
• Vinegar, Lemon, and Olive Oil: I really like the flavour of champagne vinegar (prosecco vinegar is sweet, too). In the event you don’t have that, attempt rice wine vinegar as a substitute. For the lemon, recent is greatest. Any high-quality olive oil will work right here.
• Salt, Sugar, and Pepper: We use salt and sugar within the dressing and to marinate our peaches. They each work to attract out the flavour of the peaches and salad. You don’t want so much, however they’re a robust combo. I favor recent floor black pepper, however use what you might have.
• Balsamic Glaze: That is our of entirety. A fast drizzle of thick, candy balsamic glaze really takes this salad to the following stage. You possibly can usually discover balsamic glaze within the condiment aisle of most grocery shops. It’s sweeter and thicker than common balsamic. In the event you can’t discover any, you may make it (I’ve offered ideas beneath our recipe) or use a high-quality balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, which is often thicker and sweeter by default.
