Print Recipe

A summer salad featuring glossy caramelized peaches roasted with honey and balsamic, paired with creamy burrata cheese and peppery greens for a refreshing yet indulgent dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably mild floral variety like clover or wildflower)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (aged if possible)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Small handful fresh basil or mint leaves, torn (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center for even roasting.
  2. Wash, dry, and halve the peaches. Remove pits carefully with a paring knife. Place peach halves cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil until combined.
  4. Brush the peach halves generously with the honey-balsamic mixture. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
  5. Roast the peaches for 15-20 minutes until tender and edges are caramelized, watching carefully to avoid overcooking.
  6. While peaches roast, place arugula or mixed greens in a large bowl. Add fresh herbs if using.
  7. Toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, then let cool (optional).
  8. Once peaches are roasted, let them cool slightly. Arrange peaches over the greens.
  9. Tear or place whole burrata balls on top of the salad.
  10. Drizzle remaining honey-balsamic mixture or balsamic glaze over the salad. Scatter toasted nuts on top and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Serve immediately to enjoy burrata at its freshest and creamiest.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Roast peaches in a single layer to ensure even caramelization. Use quality burrata for best creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata fresh. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with ripe avocado or cashew cream. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. Toast nuts while peaches roast to save time.
