Print Recipe

A refreshing summer salad featuring juicy peach slices, creamy burrata, and delicate prosciutto, enhanced with fresh basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced thinly (about 6–8 slices per peach)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Sea salt flakes, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches thoroughly. Slice each peach into thin wedges about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. If peaches are underripe or too sweet, toss slices gently with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice to brighten and prevent browning. Set aside.
  3. Gently tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly across a serving platter to create a creamy base.
  4. Alternate peach slices and thin strips or folds of prosciutto over and around the burrata, keeping the arrangement light and airy.
  5. Scatter torn basil leaves over the top, lightly bruising some leaves to release aroma.
  6. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad, followed by a light swirl of balsamic glaze if using.
  7. Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  8. Allow the salad to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to let flavors marry and textures soften.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches for best texture. Burrata and peaches taste best at room temperature. Avoid overdressing to prevent sogginess. Slice peaches ahead and store with lemon juice if needed. Burrata is best added last minute. For a smoky twist, grill peaches before assembling. Vegetarian option: omit prosciutto and add toasted nuts.
