Ingredients in Peach Burrata Salad

Peaches: For this recipe, you want fully ripe and ready to eat sweet peaches. If you take my suggestion below about grilling the peaches, you will want to them firm, but still ripe. (Try this Peach, Prosciutto and Melon Salad)
Burrata cheese: Fresh burrata is so rich and creamy. It has a solid outer shell and the inside is a delicious soft curd.
Basil: Fresh herbs and fruit are a match made in heaven. If you do not have basil, chives, mint, or parsley would all be great as well.
Jalapeños: The jalapeños add a nice spicy element to balance out the sweetness of the peaches and the balsamic glaze. (Try this Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Chicken)
Balsamic glaze: Balsamic glaze is a reduction of balsamic vinegar. It still has that bright tartness but it a lot sweeter. If you do not have balsamic glaze, you can drizzle over some regular balsamic vinegar or even honey. Better yet, try adding both of them. You can also use this Balsamic Shallot Vinaigrette Recipe.

How to make Peach and Burrata Salad

STEP 3: Drizzle over the balsamic glaze and olive oil.

Recipe Tips and Variations

Storage: Store leftover peach burrata salad in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Grill the peaches: Grilling the peaches makes them even softer and juicier and really takes this salad to the next level. To grill the peaches, place them directly on the grill grates and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred with grill marks.
Add prosciutto: This peach and burrata salad is also excellent with some thinly sliced prosciutto added. It adds a nice saltiness against the sweet and spicy flavors of the salad.
Add tomatoes: cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes make a great addition to this salad.
Add melon: This is also delicious with some melon added - cantaloupe, honeydew, or even watermelon. (Try this Cantaloupe and Prosciutto Salad)
Add berries: Toss in a handful of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or even blackberries.
Change up the cheese: In place of the burrata you can also use fresh mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, feta, or even mascarpone.
