Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad combining sweet ripe peaches, creamy burrata, crunchy candied pecans, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for summer gatherings and light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, sliced thinly
  • 1 ball (8 ounces) fresh burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduced balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh basil or mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pecan halves, sprinkle with brown sugar and a pinch of sea salt. Stir continuously for 5-7 minutes until pecans are glossy and caramelized. Transfer to parchment paper to cool.
  2. Rinse peaches and pat dry. Slice peaches thinly, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Gently tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss baby arugula or mixed greens with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss lightly to coat.
  5. On a serving platter, spread the dressed greens evenly. Arrange peach slices over the greens in a single layer, followed by torn burrata pieces.
  6. Scatter cooled candied pecans on top. Drizzle balsamic glaze evenly over the salad. Add extra cracked black pepper if desired.
  7. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves.

Notes

Use firm peaches to hold shape and avoid mushiness. Candy pecans on medium-low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning. Use a wet knife or fingers to tear burrata gently. Assemble salad just before serving to keep greens crisp. Pat peaches dry if very juicy to avoid sogginess. Store components separately if making ahead.
