Peach Tomato Burrata Salad: A Taste of Summer

With summer in full swing, I’m soaking up every bit of sunshine! ☀️ One of my favourite ways to celebrate this season is with a Peach Tomato Burrata Salad, which is sweet, savoury, and the perfect side dish for those warm months.

Fresh From the Farm

My mother lives in a beautiful rural neighbourhood with incredible local farms right outside her back door. When I visit her, I love exploring these farms to source the freshest organic vegetables and fruits I can find. Their annual peach festival is an event I look forward to every year, inspiring this delightful salad that highlights the best of summer’s bounty.

Quick and Impressive

What I adore about this salad is that it can be whipped up in under 15 minutes! It’s not only quick to prepare, but it also looks absolutely beautiful and tastes even better. The combination of juicy peaches, ripe tomatoes, and creamy burrata makes for a stunning dish that is sure to impress your guests.

Celebrate Local Flavours

So, let’s soak up some of that beautiful local Ontario summer harvest! 🍑🍅 This Peach Tomato Burrata Salad is the perfect way to enjoy the season’s best flavours and make the most of those farm-fresh ingredients. Gather your ingredients, and let’s get started on this delicious salad that embodies the essence of summer!

Ingredients for Peach Tomato Burrata Salad

To create a delightful Peach Tomato Burrata Salad, gather the following ingredients:

• Burrata: This cheese has a creamy consistency that makes the salad rich and indulgent. If you can’t find burrata, you can substitute it with Fior di Latte, which is a slightly denser mozzarella.
• Peaches: Use summer-fresh peaches for the best flavour, but feel free to substitute with nectarines if you prefer.
• Heirloom Tomatoes: These tomatoes add a beautiful variety of colours and flavours to the salad. Regular beefsteak tomatoes also work well if heirlooms aren’t available.
• Cherry Tomatoes: Sweet and juicy, these tomatoes provide a nice contrast to the more acidic heirloom varieties.
• Fresh Basil: Fresh basil adds a fragrant touch. If you don’t have basil, you can substitute it with fresh parsley, dill, or cilantro for a different herbaceous note.
• Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil: This high-quality olive oil has no added solvents or chemicals, offering a cleaner and healthier taste to the salad.
• Balsamic Glaze: With its thicker consistency, balsamic glaze won’t make the salad soggy. If you don’t have glaze, balsamic vinegar can be used as an alternative.
• Optional Garnish: For added crunch and texture, consider topping the salad with roasted pumpkin seeds or diced pistachios.

Time to Create!

With these fresh and vibrant ingredients, you’re ready to assemble a stunning Peach Tomato Burrata Salad that’s sure to impress at your summer gatherings! Let’s get started on this refreshing dish!
