Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

Ingredients:
For the Salad:

• 4 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, or baby greens)
• 2 ripe peaches, sliced
• 8 oz burrata cheese
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

For the Dressing:

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salad:

• In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, peach slices, red onion, and pine nuts or almonds.
• Gently toss to mix the ingredients.

1. Prepare the Dressing:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.

1. Assemble the Salad:

• Arrange the salad mixture on a serving platter or individual plates.
• Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and place on top of the salad.
• Drizzle with the prepared dressing.

1. Garnish and Serve:

• Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
• Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy and fresh flavors.

Tips for Success:

• Ripeness: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
• Burrata Handling: Handle the burrata gently to avoid breaking it too much; the creamy interior is a key part of the dish.
• Dressing: Make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Give it a good shake before using.

Recipe Variations:

• Nuts: Swap pine nuts for walnuts or pecans for a different crunch.
• Cheese: Try using goat cheese or feta instead of burrata for a different flavor profile.
• Fruit: Substitute peaches with nectarines, plums, or apples if peaches are out of season.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy this salad on its own as a light lunch or appetizer.
• Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a more substantial meal.
• Pair with crusty bread or a light soup for a complete dinner.

Freezing and Storage:

• Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The salad may become soggy if stored for too long.
• Prepping Ahead: You can prep the salad components (peaches, onions, nuts) and dressing ahead of time. Assemble just before serving.

Special Equipment:

• Mandoline: A mandoline slicer can help you get even slices of peaches and onions, but a sharp knife works just fine.

FAQ:

• Can I make this salad ahead of time? It’s best to assemble the salad just before serving to keep the greens fresh and the burrata creamy.
• Can I use a different type of cheese? Yes, goat cheese or feta are excellent alternatives to burrata.
• What if I don’t like balsamic vinegar? You can substitute with apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar for a different flavor.
