  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (+ more for topping)
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper (+ more for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion

Salad

  • 4 cups sliced fresh peaches (~8 small peaches or 4 large peaches, washed and pitted)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice
  • 4 oz. burrata cheese (drained)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint (for garnish)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Freshly cracked pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 2 teaspoons olive oil until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add herbs and onion: Stir in chopped fresh mint, cilantro, and minced red onion into the dressing. Mix until evenly combined, then set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Prepare the peaches: Place sliced peaches in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 2 teaspoons orange juice. Toss gently to coat, then arrange peaches evenly on a salad platter.
  4. Add burrata cheese: Gently tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and distribute them over the bed of peaches, allowing the creamy cheese to contrast with the sweet fruit.
  5. Dress and garnish: Drizzle the prepared herb dressing over the peaches and burrata. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, additional salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness in the salad.
  • Feel free to substitute pine nuts with toasted almonds or walnuts for a different texture.
  • This salad is best served immediately to preserve the freshness of the ingredients and the creaminess of the burrata.
  • For a citrus twist, try adding a splash of balsamic glaze before serving.
