Juicy peaches. Creamy burrata. Sunshine in every bite. This salad is pure summer simplicity — sweet peaches, creamy burrata, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. No cooking, just layering sunshine on a plate.

Ingredients

2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
1 ball burrata cheese (about 4 oz)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic glaze
¼ tsp flaky sea salt
⅛ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh basil, torn
1 tbsp pistachios or walnuts, chopped

Instructions

Slice the peaches. Use ripe but firm peaches. Slice them thinly and lay them out on a serving plate in a loose fan or circle.
Add the burrata. Tear open the ball of burrata and gently place it in the center of the peaches. Let it ooze a little — that’s part of the charm.
Drizzle and season. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp balsamic glaze all over. Sprinkle with ¼ tsp flaky sea salt and ⅛ tsp black pepper.
Garnish to finish. Top with 1 tbsp torn basil and 1 tbsp chopped nuts (if using) for crunch. Serve immediately with crusty bread or eat it straight from the plate.

Chefta’s Notes

📖 I made this on a sweltering July afternoon when even boiling water felt like a betrayal. It was so simple, yet so elegant — I instantly felt like I was dining in Tuscany.
