A light and satisfying summer salad featuring sweet peaches, creamy burrata, and a tangy honey balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick, elegant meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, sliced thin
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and soft
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until reduced by half and syrupy, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Slice the peaches: Rinse and dry peaches. Using a sharp knife, cut into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick, handling gently if very ripe.
  3. Prepare the greens: Wash and dry 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens thoroughly.
  4. Assemble the salad base: Place greens in a large bowl or serving platter. Arrange peach slices evenly over the greens.
  5. Add burrata: Tear burrata into large chunks and scatter over peaches and greens.
  6. Drizzle olive oil: Pour 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over the salad.
  7. Season: Lightly sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad.
  8. Finish with glaze and basil: Drizzle honey balsamic glaze evenly over the salad and scatter torn fresh basil leaves on top.
  9. Optional crunch: Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts if using.
  10. Serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

Make the honey balsamic glaze a day ahead and store in the fridge; warm slightly before use. Use ripe peaches for best flavor and texture. Burrata should be at room temperature for creaminess. Handle peaches gently to avoid mushiness. Avoid overdressing with glaze to prevent overpowering flavors. Store leftovers separately and consume within 24 hours.
