Print Recipe

A simple and delightful summer salad combining juicy peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and fresh basil, perfect for light meals and casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced
  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese ball, room temperature
  • 4–6 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces
  • About 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and gently dry the peaches. Slice them into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick, being careful not to bruise.
  2. Take the burrata out of the fridge about 20 minutes before assembling to warm to room temperature.
  3. Tear the prosciutto into bite-size pieces using clean hands.
  4. Rinse basil leaves, pat dry, and tear or slice into thin strips (chiffonade).
  5. Arrange peach slices in a single layer or loosely piled on a large platter or bowl.
  6. Nestle the burrata in the center or off to one side, gently tearing it open to reveal the creamy interior.
  7. Scatter prosciutto pieces evenly over the peaches, then sprinkle basil on top.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Drizzle the dressing gently over the salad. Optionally, drizzle balsamic glaze for a touch of sweet acidity.
  10. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of cool burrata and juicy peaches with salty prosciutto. If needed, keep covered in the fridge for no more than 1 hour.

Notes

Bring burrata to room temperature before serving for best creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving to maintain texture and freshness. Optionally add balsamic glaze or lemon zest for brightness. Leftovers should be eaten within a day and stored covered in the fridge.
