Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 oz burrata cheese
Fruit
- 3 peaches
Meat
- 4 slices prosciutto, cut into quarter pieces
Herbs & Seasoning
- 2 tbsp basil, roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
Dressing
- 1 tbsp champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Cut each peach in half, remove the pit, and then slice each half into 8 pieces, ensuring uniform slices for even distribution on the salad.
- Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinegar, olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt until fully combined to create a light, tangy dressing.
- Assemble the Salad: Arrange the peach slices on a serving platter, evenly tuck in the quartered pieces of prosciutto among the peaches for a balanced presentation.
- Add Burrata and Dressing: Place the whole burrata cheese in the center or atop the arranged peaches and prosciutto, then drizzle generously with the prepared champagne vinaigrette.
- Finish with Garnish: Sprinkle the roughly chopped basil over the salad and add extra flaky sea salt to taste, enhancing flavor and texture. Serve immediately, optionally alongside grilled bread.
Notes
- Use ripe, but firm peaches for best texture and sweetness.
- Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella if burrata is unavailable.
- For a vegan option, omit prosciutto and use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Pair this salad with crusty grilled bread for a complete appetizer.
- Adjust salt levels carefully to complement the natural sweetness of the peaches.
