Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 1 cup arugula or your favorite green
- 1 cup basil leaves
- 4 peaches sliced
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 avocados thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts toasted
- 1 burrata cheese torn by hand or knife
- 3 tablespoons balsamic syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon chilli flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon basil leaves minced for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preparing all your salad ingredients on a cutting board. Slice the peaches, avocados, and thinly slice the red onion. You may choose to dice them, but slicing maintains a better texture, especially with the creamy burrata.
- Next, arrange your salad on a large serving plate. Begin with a bed of arugula and scatter the basil leaves on top. The arugula's peppery flavor will complement the sweetness of the fruits brilliantly.
- Now it’s time to add the sliced ingredients. Start placing the peaches, avocados, and sliced onions evenly over the base of greens. Make sure to distribute them attractively for visual appeal.
- Take the burrata cheese and tear it up gently with your hands or a knife. Distribute the torn pieces over the salad so that each serving gets a bit of that creamy goodness. The burrata should look inviting and fresh on top of the vibrant salad.
- Drizzle the balsamic syrup all over the salad. Try to coat the ingredients well, as the syrup brings a sweet and tangy element that ties the dish together.
- Pour the olive oil over the salad next. A good quality olive oil enhances the flavors and adds richness, balancing the sweetness of the peaches.
- Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Don’t forget to add the optional chilli flakes if you want to introduce a hint of spice.
- Finally, garnish your masterpiece with minced basil leaves. This brightens up the presentation and adds an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately to enjoy it at its best. The flavors are fresh, and the textures are perfect when served right away!
- Enjoy your delicious Peach Burrata Salad with family and friends!
Notes
To store leftovers, keep the salad in an airtight container in the fridge. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh, as the ingredients may wilt.
Freezing this salad is not recommended due to the fresh ingredients which don't hold up well once frozen. Enjoy it fresh!
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, such as chicken or fish, making it a fantastic side dish for summer barbecues.
Feel free to swap out fruits based on what’s in season or your personal favorites!
While the balsamic syrup is delicious, consider trying a light vinaigrette if you prefer a tangier flavor.
Layer the ingredients artfully for an impressive presentation. It not only looks gorgeous but also enhances the dining experience.
