Description
A stunning summer salad that combines juicy peaches, ripe tomatoes, and creamy burrata cheese with a bright basil vinaigrette – sweet, savory, and utterly refreshing!
Ingredients
- 2 medium peaches
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 oz prosciutto
- 6 oz burrata cheese
- 10 basil leaves
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
Instructions
- Slice the Peaches: Thinly slice the peaches (about 1/4 inch thick) and arrange them beautifully on a flat serving plate. You want them to overlap slightly to create a lovely effect.
- Tip: Use a serrated knife for an easier cut!
- Prepare the Tomatoes: Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place those vibrant beauties on top of the peaches. Trust me, their juiciness will seep into the peaches, making each bite a juicy explosion.
- Visual Cue: Look for tomatoes that shine; dull skin means they’re not at their peak.
- Add Prosciutto: Slice the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and artfully sprinkle it over the tomatoes and peaches. The saltiness of the prosciutto enhances the sweetness of the fruits beautifully.
- Hint: Folding the prosciutto instead of laying it flat makes for a more dynamic presentation!
- Burrata Time: Cut the burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter those glorious morsels over your assembled salad.
- Chef’s Tip: Be gentle when handling burrata; it’s delicate and should ooze when you cut into it!
- Season: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over everything. Season with salt to taste and finish it off with whole basil leaves scattered on top.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so dive in right away for that delightful burst of flavors!
