Peach Caprese Salad with Burrata

Hello and Happy Fourth of July! I am sure you already have your menu planned, if you’re hosting a get-together, or if you’re bringing a dish to a potluck; so today I am revisiting a summer salad from Kelly’s Kitchen. This salad is super simple so it’s a perfect last-minute dish to toss together. It even makes a great dessert! So, here we go: Peach Caprese Salad with Burrata!

We regularly make the traditional caprese salad, and using peaches instead of tomatoes is such a delicious way to mix it up a bit. I made this salad almost every week last summer; sometimes with fresh mozzarella pearls, or chunks of fresh mozzarella, but my favorite cheese to have in this salad is Burrata.

Quality Ingredients

This recipe is as easy as they come, so the real focus is going to be on the quality of your ingredients. Ripe peaches, good olive oil and flaky sea salt are at the top of my list. I really love Jacobsen Salt Co. Kosher Sea Salt for cooking and it’s great for finishing anything from salads to steaks. My favorite mid-to-low priced olive oil is California Olive Ranch olive oil.

If you are not familiar with Burrata, it’s a sphere of fresh mozzarella filled with stracciatella. Stracciatella is a tangy, creamy mixture of frayed mozzarella and cream. Burrata is so luscious and rich, it really goes perfectly with peaches and takes this simple salad up a notch.

I have Trader Joe’s Balsamic Glaze, but you can just use straight Balsamic vinegar if you like. Balsamic is not used in traditional caprese, but I think it’s important here to add some acid to the dish because the peaches are so sweet. Fresh cracked black pepper and basil from my garden finish it off. The ratios are to taste, so use as much or as little as you like.
