Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced into thin wedges
- 1 ball fresh burrata cheese, torn into chunks
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
- Fresh basil leaves, torn or whole (optional)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until reduced by about half and slightly thickened, about 8–10 minutes. The glaze should coat the back of a spoon.
- Slice the peaches: Rinse and dry peaches. Slice into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick.
- Prepare the greens: In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Assemble the salad: Arrange the dressed greens on a serving plate. Scatter peach slices over the top. Add fresh basil leaves evenly across the salad.
- Add burrata: Tear burrata into chunks and place around the salad.
- Drizzle the glaze: Spoon the warm honey balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
- Add crunch (optional): Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for texture.
- Final seasoning: Finish with additional black pepper and flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately after glazing for best texture and flavor. Leftovers should be stored without glaze and consumed within 24 hours. Warm glaze gently before reapplying. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid sogginess. Burrata should be served at room temperature for best creaminess. Toast nuts carefully to avoid burning.
