Description
A vibrant summer salad combining sweet ripe peaches, juicy tomatoes, and creamy burrata tossed with fresh basil, a zesty olive-oil dressing, and a hint of honey. Served on a platter with toasted pistachios and balsamic glaze for a refreshing mix of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
2 large ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced into wedges
8 ounces burrata cheese, drained
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup toasted pistachios or almonds, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon honey, optional
Instructions
Rinse the peaches, pat them dry, then slice into thin, even wedges
Slice cherry tomatoes in half and cut heirloom tomatoes into bite-size wedges
Toast the pistachios or almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, flaky sea salt, black pepper, and honey if using
Arrange the sliced tomatoes and peaches on a large platter, slightly overlapping to form a colorful base
Place the drained burrata cheese in the center of the platter
Drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes and peaches, avoiding the burrata
Scatter the fresh basil over the mixture and sprinkle toasted nuts on top
Finish with a spoonful of balsamic glaze drizzled artfully across the dish and adjust seasoning to taste
Notes
Use halal-certified burrata if required
Assemble the salad just before serving for maximum freshness
Olive oil dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
Peaches and tomatoes will remain juicy at room temperature, but chilled ingredients can be used if serving cold
