What You'll Need
- Burrata cheese: A soft, creamy cheese made from mozzarella and cream. Its rich, buttery texture is the star of this salad.
- Dressing ingredients: A simple mix of white balsamic vinegar (or your favorite vinegar), olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Leafy greens: A base of tender lettuce with a handful of arugula for a light peppery bite.
- Fresh peaches: Ripe, juicy peaches make this salad shine. Leave the skin on for extra color and texture, or peel them if you prefer.
- Prosciutto di Parma: Thin slices of salty Italian cured pork that balance the sweetness of the peaches and creaminess of the burrata.
- Herbs and microgreens: Fresh basil and optional microgreens add a burst of flavor, color, and freshness to every bite.
- Pistachios: A small sprinkle adds crunch and a nutty finish to the salad.
How To Make Peach Burrata Salad
This salad is all about quick prep and simple assembly. Here’s how to put it together:
Start by letting the burrata rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This brings out its creamy texture and rich flavor. Next, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Then, lay the lettuce and a bit of arugula on a serving platter to form the base of your salad. Arrange slices of juicy peaches and prosciutto around the plate, leaving space in between for the burrata. Give the peaches a light squeeze of lemon to keep them fresh and bright.
After that, use two spoons or your fingers to gently pull the burrata apart into small sections and tuck them between the peaches and prosciutto. Sprinkle fresh basil and chopped pistachios over the top, and finish with a few microgreens if you have them on hand.
Finally, drizzle the balsamic dressing evenly over the salad, serve right away, and enjoy every bite.
Recipe Tips
- Choose ripe, firm peaches (and other stone fruits): Sweet, juicy peaches are ideal, but nectarines or even cherries work too. Look for fruit that’s ripe yet firm enough to hold its shape when sliced.
- Peach skin is optional: You can peel the peaches if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds color, flavor, texture, and saves time.
- Prosciutto is optional: Swap it for domestic prosciutto, thinly sliced salami, or leave it out entirely for a vegetarian version.
- Vinegar swaps: White balsamic is classic here, but balsamic or apple cider vinegar will also work well.
- Make ahead: Assemble the salad without burrata or dressing, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Add burrata and dressing just before serving.
Serving ideas
This peach burrata salad is a versatile dish you can serve in several ways. Keep it light as a summer side salad, or elevate it into an unforgettable starter by pairing it with warm crostini or slices of fresh French bread for scooping. It also makes a beautiful addition to a brunch spread, a picnic menu, or a casual grazing table alongside other fresh seasonal dishes. A crisp white wine or rosé is the perfect complement to its sweet, salty, and creamy flavors.

- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions
- Remove the BURRATA from the brine and rest it at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften and bring out its creamy flavor.

- Lay the LETTUCE and ARUGULA across your serving platter to form the base of the salad.
