Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs ripe peaches pitted and sliced into wedges
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese drained
  • 4 cups mixed greens such as arugula, spinach, or butter lettuce
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves roughly torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds for added crunch

Method
 

  1. Gently wash and dry your ripe peaches. Carefully slice them in half, remove the pits, and then cut each half into wedges or slices. The ripeness is key here; you want peaches that are soft enough to yield to gentle pressure but not mushy.

  2. In a large, shallow serving bowl or platter, create a bed of mixed greens. Distribute them evenly to provide a colorful base for the salad.

  3. Artfully arrange the prepared peach slices over the bed of mixed greens. Try to scatter them somewhat evenly for visual appeal and to ensure every bite gets a bit of peachy goodness.

  4. Gently tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces, or place the whole burrata spheres artfully amongst the peaches and greens. The creamy stracciatella inside will spill out as you cut or tear it, adding to the rich texture of the salad.

  5. Scatter the fresh basil leaves over the salad. Their aromatic quality will enhance the overall fragrance and flavor profile. If using, sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds for an optional but delightful crunch.

  6. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil generously over the entire salad. Then, follow with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, allowing its sweet and tangy notes to complement the fruit and cheese.
