Print Recipe

A fresh and elegant summer salad combining ripe peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, sweet honey, and fragrant basil for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced (firm but fragrant)
  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 4 oz (115 g) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower)
  • About 20 fresh basil leaves, torn or chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash the peaches well. Using a sharp knife, slice them into thin wedges about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add torn basil leaves and fresh lemon juice to the peach slices. Toss gently to coat and let sit for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  3. Place the burrata ball gently on your serving platter. Tear it open to let the creamy center ooze out slightly or break into smaller pieces to scatter across the plate.
  4. Spoon the lemon-basil peach mixture around and over the burrata, creating a natural, rustic look without overcrowding.
  5. Tear the prosciutto slices into bite-sized ribbons or pieces and scatter over the peaches and burrata.
  6. Warm the honey slightly if very thick (about 10 seconds in the microwave). Drizzle the honey evenly over the salad, followed by a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil.
  7. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness. If needed, chill for up to 10 minutes but avoid long refrigeration.

Notes

Use peaches that are firm but fragrant for best texture. Tear burrata gently to preserve creamy center. Warm honey slightly if thick for easier drizzling. Assemble just before serving to maintain freshness. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with cashew-based cheese and prosciutto with grilled eggplant strips, using maple syrup instead of honey.
