Ingredients
  

Salad Components
  • 2 large ripe peaches yellow or white, firm
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes heirloom mix preferred, halved
  • 1 large handful fresh basil leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil high quality
  • 2-3 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • to taste flaky sea salt
  • to taste freshly cracked black pepper

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Serving Platter or Bowl

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry all produce. Slice peaches into 1/2-inch wedges, discarding the pit. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Tear larger basil leaves.
  2. On a large serving platter, arrange the peach slices and halved tomatoes in a rustic, casual manner. Scatter some torn basil over them.
  3. Place the whole ball of burrata in the center. Just before serving, gently tear it open with a knife to reveal the creamy center.
  4. Drizzle the entire platter with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Garnish with whole small basil leaves. Serve immediately with a large spoon.

Notes

For best results, use ingredients at room temperature. The salad should be assembled just before serving to prevent sogginess. If you can't find burrata, fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine) are a great substitute.
