Peach Burrata Salad

We absolutely have Burrata fever here – like we can’t get enough Burrata Cheese in LIFE!! Burrata Caprese is another summer dream salad which is similar to this Peach Burrata Salad, except it focuses on tomatoes, and involves croutons.

Burrata Pizza is a blend of pizza with a creamy burrata cheese over the toppings, and similarly Burrata Pasta. A luscious Sun Dried Tomato Pesto tossed with cooked pasta, then topped with the Burrata Cheese. SERIOUSLY the best!

• Greens: We used arugula because it’s our favorite. However you can use spinach  or spring greens.
• Peaches: Sweet and seasonal summer peaches are a MUST here!
• Burrata Cheese: You can find lactose free burrata now which is a DREAM for us! You can read all about burrata cheese here and get to know it!
• Basil Leaves: We use it to compliment the arugula as the salad base. 
• Onions: Purple onions add a nice spice kick to the salad.
• Avocados: Optional, but they add a creamy texture which pairs so beautifully with the sweet peaches and ccreamy burrata.
• Toasted Hazelnuts: Anything crunchy here works, even croutons. We love nuts or pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts have a sweetness that goes so well with peaches! Walnuts and almonds are another favorite to substitute here.

How to Make Peach Burrata Salad

1. Start by slicing the ingredients for the salad on a cutting board. While you can of course dice the ingredients if that’s your preference, we prefer slicing.  
   
2. Now that all your ingredients are sliced and ready, it’s time to assemble the salad. Make sure to add on your favorites like tomatoes, apples, radishes etc.. This is a super forgiving salad, and seriously so GOOD! Feel free to get some inspiration from this Burrata Caprese and Burrata Salad. 
3. This is basil from our garden and we couldn’t be more excited to use it! Basil leaves add a nice bright and fresh touch to any salad green you’re using. Add your sliced ingredients over the basil leaves and greens.
4. Once the salad is layered, the burrata cheese goes last. Break it up with your hand as shown above or use a knife to gently break it apart. At this point the salad is ready and needs a light dressing. 

Dressing for the Peach Burrata Salad

Balsamic syrup is the magical ingredient to dress up this salad recipe, along with quality olive oil. Simple, yet SO GOOD! 

Season it up with salt, pepper, chilli flakes and garnish the salad recipe with extra basil if you’d like, then serve right away!
