Summer-Ready Tomato Peach Burrata Salad – Fresh & Simple!
A refreshing tomato peach burrata salad combining juicy tomatoes, sweet peaches, and creamy burrata cheese, finished with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil — the perfect summer dish!
Ingredients
- For the vinaigrette:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic or champagne vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 shallot finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove grated
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tbsp chopped oregano
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 1 tbsp chopped thyme
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the salad:
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved if large
- 2 to 3 ripe peaches sliced into wedges
- 1 cup fresh cherries pitted
- 8 oz burrata cheese at room temp
- 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the vinaigrette
- In a jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, basil, oregano, dill, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Step 2: Marinate the fruit
- In a large bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes, peach slices, and cherries with about one-third of the dressing. Let this sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature—or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
- Step 3: Assemble the salad
- Arrange the fruit mix in a serving bowl or plate. Tear the burrata cheese into chunks and place it on top of the salad.
- Step 4: Finish and serve
- Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over everything. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds and a few extra fresh herbs. Serve with crusty bread if you like.
Notes
You can swap pumpkin seeds for pistachios, walnuts, or pine nuts. Skip cherries if out of season—pears work for a fall twist. Substitute honey with maple syrup or omit for a tangier flavor.
