Peaches and burrata are a match made in heaven. Need I say more? This ingredient pairing should be in the dictionary under “summer.” The juicy fruit flavor of the peaches matched with the mellow and creamy burrata is 😘👌. And goodness, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the tomatoes, basil, and prosciutto. This salad has it all!

This recipe is so customizable! If you don’t love prosciutto, go ahead and leave it off. If you have a favorite vinaigrette you’d rather use, go for it! Maybe you’d rather skip the dressing and drizzle some balsamic glaze on top, and that’s okay too. The beauty of this recipe is that you can take what you want and alter what you don’t.

FAQs
Do you heat up burrata before serving?
No, don’t heat up your burrata! It’s best enjoyed at room temperature, so I would suggest leaving it on the counter while you chop and prepare your other ingredients before adding it to your salad.
Do you eat burrata skin?
You sure do – the burrata skin is literally just yummy mozzarella cheese! The inside of the burrata is full of stringy cheese mixed with decadent cream. You can (and should!) eat both parts.
Should I remove the peach skin?
This is totally up to you! Some people like leaving the peach skin on for appearance and texture, and some people prefer to peel the peach so each slice is completely smooth.
Serving Suggestions + Variations
- Every good dinner party starts with some drinks, and I would suggest a peach wine slushy or peach daiquiri to keep things fruity and on theme.
- If you want to get fancy with your salad and enhance your flavors a little bit, throw your peach slices on the grill for a few minutes on each side. I love the sound of a grilled peach and burrata salad!
- If you want to eat this dish as an appetizer, serve it with slices of crusty bread. Pile each slice high with a slather of creamy burrata and then pile it high with salad.
- For your main dish, I’d suggest something summery like salmon stir fry, spicy shrimp tacos, or salmon and leek risotto.
- And now let’s get back to what’s most important: peaches. Serve this peach upside-down cake or an old-fashioned peach cobbler for dessert.
