Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the strawberries under cool water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Remove the stems and slice the strawberries into thin pieces.
- Next, wash the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into wedges or thin slices, depending on your preference.
- Take the burrata cheese out of its packaging and gently drain any excess liquid. Using your hands, tear the burrata into smaller pieces or leave it whole, depending on how you want to present it in the salad.
- In a large serving bowl or platter, arrange the sliced strawberries and peaches in an aesthetically pleasing manner. You can alternate the slices for a colorful presentation.
- Carefully place the torn or whole burrata pieces on top of the arranged fruit. The creamy texture of the burrata will complement the sweetness of the strawberries and peaches beautifully.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the fruit and burrata. The glaze adds a tangy sweetness that enhances the flavors of the salad.
- For a finishing touch, garnish the salad with fresh basil leaves. You can either leave the leaves whole or tear them into smaller pieces to release their aromatic oils.
- Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light main dish. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
Tips
- Choose peak-season fruits for maximum flavor: Select strawberries and peaches that are ripe but still firm, with a deep, vibrant color and sweet aroma.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the perfect texture of the burrata and prevent the fruits from becoming soggy.
- For an extra flavor dimension, consider lightly toasting some pine nuts or sliced almonds to sprinkle on top for added crunch.
- If balsamic glaze is too intense, you can substitute with a light honey or a mild aged balsamic vinegar.
- For a more elegant presentation, use a white serving platter to make the colorful fruits and white burrata really pop.
- Keep the basil leaves whole or gently torn to release their aromatic oils and enhance the overall sensory experience of the salad.
