Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large serving platter
  • Small bowl for dressing optional

Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or your choice)
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • ¼ cup balsamic glaze
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Greens

  • Start by washing the mixed greens thoroughly, ensuring they are crisp and fresh. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner, then arrange them on a large serving platter.
  • Tip: Using a mix of greens adds texture and a variety of flavors.

Step 2: Slice the Peaches

  • Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the peaches into thin wedges, removing the pit. The peaches should be ripe but still firm to maintain their shape in the salad.
  • Tip: For more flavor, consider lightly grilling the peach slices for a smoky twist.

Step 3: Assemble

  • Nestle the peach slices among the greens, creating a vibrant display. Tear the burrata cheese gently and place it in the center of the salad, allowing its creaminess to shine.

Step 4: Add Flavor

  • Drizzle the entire salad generously with balsamic glaze, letting the sweetness seep into the greens and peaches. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper to enhance the flavors.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

  • Finish by scattering the torn basil leaves over the salad. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience, allowing everyone to dig in while the burrata is still creamy.

Notes

Pro tips: Choose ripe, juicy peaches for maximum sweetness. Serve this salad cold for a refreshing bite on warm days. Experiment with different cheeses, such as feta or goat cheese, for a unique twist. Add nuts, such as toasted almonds or walnuts, for added crunch and flavor. Pair with your favorite wine for an elevated dining experience.
