Whether you're looking for a light lunch or a side dish for dinner, this salad comes together in just a few minutes and looks as beautiful as it tastes!
Like most people, I cherish peach season! And every summer, this salad is on repeat at our house. I like to think of it as a modern twist on the classic Caprese salad.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Fresh and Seasonal: There is no doubt that food tastes best when eaten in season. This salad is the perfect example of that! Perfectly ripe peaches provide a natural sweetness and so much flavor to this salad.
- Quick And Easy: Ready in less than 20 minutes, making it perfect for a party or to serve alongside your favorite grilled meat.
- Versatile: This summer salad can be served as a side dish or as a starter. You can also omit the burrata to make it dairy-free.
Ingredients
- Organic Peaches: Fresh peaches work best for this dish. You will want them to be slightly soft, but not too firm. Also, you don't have to grill the peaches, but it does add a nice layer of smokiness to the salad.
- Avocado Oil: You will want to use Avocado oil when you grill the peaches as it has a high smoke point.
- Burrata: If you are dairy-free you can leave this out, or substitute with a dairy-free Ricotta such as Kite Hill ricotta.
- Prosciutto: If you can, try to find thinly sliced prosciutto. Creminelli is one of my favorites.
- Arugula & Baby Spinach: I really like the mix of peppery arugula and baby spinach. Arugula alone has a bit too much bite for me. To keep things simple, you can buy a bag of mixed greens and call it a day.
- Basil: Fresh basil adds a nice sweetness to this peach salad. You can also use any fresh herbs that you like.
- Olive Oil: Grab yourself a good olive oil. My favorite is TDC Mercantile.
- Flakey Salt And Black Pepper: Maldon's Sea Salt is wonderful and affordable.

- Nuts: Try adding your favorite nuts or seeds for a little crunch. Pine nuts or pecans would be fantastic!
- Balsamic Vinegar: You can make a simple balsamic glaze or balsamic reduction to top off this burrata peach salad.

Recipe FAQs
While this salad is best served fresh, you can prep the ingredients ahead of time and store them separately. Assemble just before serving for the best results.
If you don't have a grill, you can use a griddle pan on the stovetop. Just be sure to brush the grill or the peaches with avocado oil first.
Look for peaches that are slightly firm to the touch with a fragrant aroma. Avoid overly soft peaches as they can become mushy on the grill, and under-ripe peaches won't carmelize as well.
Store any leftovers separately in their own airtight container in the fridge.
