Fresh Peach and Burrata Salad
A beautiful summer salad that balances juicy peaches with creamy cheese and crunchy pistachios.
recipesbynani.comThis salad is one of my favorite ways to celebrate summer produce. The combination of sweet peaches, peppery arugula, and rich burrata cheese creates a flavor profile that feels fancy but is actually incredibly easy to put together.
You do not need to turn on the stove for this one. Just slice your ingredients, arrange them on a platter, and drizzle everything with good oil and vinegar. It is a perfect light lunch or a lovely appetizer for a backyard dinner.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 4 cups fresh baby arugula
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, toasted
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- A pinch of sea salt
- A pinch of black pepper
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Spread the fresh arugula across a large serving platter or divide it among individual plates.
- 2
Arrange the peach slices over the bed of arugula.
- 3
Place the balls of burrata cheese in the center or tear them into smaller pieces and nestle them among the peaches.
- 4
Scatter the toasted pistachios and fresh basil leaves over the top of the salad.
- 5
Drizzle the entire dish with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then finish with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
💡 Tips
Store any leftover components in separate containers in the fridge to keep the arugula from wilting. I highly recommend using the best quality olive oil you have for this dish since there are so few ingredients. If you cannot find pistachios, toasted walnuts or almonds make a wonderful substitute.
