Peach Burrata Salad

Peach Burrata Salad Recipe

In a recipe, peaches are usually the main attraction! At our family, peach season is a favorite among everyone, and you best know I cook every peach recipe. Breakfast of peach scones, an afternoon snack of our favorite peach smoothie, and dessert of these small peach cobblers.

What is Burrata?

Consider burrata salad to be the upscale sibling of caprese salad. Peak-season tomatoes are topped with this decadent cheese (imagine a mozzarella shell filled with a soft, creamy interior) and decorated with a sprinkling of savory chives and peppery basil leaves. The shredded burrata will be placed on top of the tomatoes, enabling the cheese's creamy interior to mingle with the tomato juices, as opposed to being layered with the tomatoes and cheese, as you would with a caprese salad. This dish screams summer and demands to be eaten outside with traditional Italian dishes like seafood spaghetti, panna cotta, or cannoli for dessert.
