Ingredients
Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 3 ripe peaches
- 4 slices prosciutto, cut into quarter pieces
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, roughly chopped
Champagne Vinaigrette
- 1 tbsp champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp sea salt (plus extra for seasoning)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, and slice each half into 8 pieces. This ensures bite-sized pieces that will layer nicely in the salad.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinegar, olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt until well combined and emulsified. Set this aside to let flavors meld.
- Assemble the salad: On a serving platter, artfully arrange the peach slices. Tuck quartered prosciutto pieces between the peach slices to distribute flavor evenly.
- Add burrata and dress salad: Place the whole burrata gently in the center or on top of the peaches and prosciutto. Drizzle the champagne vinaigrette over the salad, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, and finish with extra flaky sea salt to taste.
- Serve: Serve this salad on its own or alongside grilled bread for an added texture and flavor contrast.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
- Champagne vinegar can be substituted with white wine vinegar in a pinch.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain freshness.
- Grilled bread pairs wonderfully with this salad for a more substantial dish.
- Adjust salt to taste since prosciutto adds saltiness.
