Ingredients
  

  • 3 large ripe peaches sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 balls burrata cheese torn into halves or quarters
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves whole or torn
  • 2 cups arugula or mixed greens washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil California-grown preferred
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flaky preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

Prep the Ingredients
  1. Rinse the peaches and slice them into thin wedges. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Gently tear the burrata into halves or quarters.
Assemble the Salad
  1. On a large serving platter or plate, arrange a bed of arugula or mixed greens. Place the torn burrata pieces in the center or scattered across the greens.
Layer Peaches and Tomatoes
  1. Fan out the peach slices around or over the burrata. Add the halved cherry tomatoes for extra color and acidity.
Add Fresh Basil
  1. Tuck the fresh basil leaves in between the peaches and cheese. Leave them whole or tear them for a more rustic look.
Dress the Salad
  1. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the entire salad. Be generous but avoid overdressing.
Season and Serve
  1. Sprinkle the sea salt and cracked black pepper over the top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For a twist, substitute peaches with nectarines or plums. If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella works well. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day, but the texture is best fresh. Avoid overdressing to keep the salad from becoming soggy. For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or prosciutto. Make the balsamic glaze at home by simmering 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons honey until syrupy.
