Fresh Peaches with Burrata, Cucumbers, Strawberries & Basil
 
Prep time
Total time
 
Summer salads are my favorite - who doesn't want fresh peaches and strawberries coupled with cool, crisp cucumbers (these are from our garden), creamy Burrata and beautiful basil? I dress it simply with Cara Cara Orange Vanilla white balsamic and extra virgin olive oil - both from one of my favorite shops Outrageous Olive Oil in Scottsdale, Arizona. Sometimes I serve this salad after the meal - it's a lovely way to cleanse the palette and prepare your guests for dessert & coffee.

Ingredients
  • 4 peaches
  • 8 large strawberries
  • ½ cucumber, peeled
  • 16 basil leaves
  • 2 hand-formed balls Burrata
  • Cara Cara Orange Vanilla White Balsamic vinegar
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
  1. Chill 4 salad plates. Rinse the fruit, cucumber and basil. Pat dry.
  2. Halve the peaches, remove the stone. Cut each half into wedges. Place the same amount of wedges onto each of the plates.
  3. Cut the strawberries into quarters, distribute the same amount of berries onto each of the plates.
  4. Cut the cucumber into half moons, distribute the same amount onto each of the plates.
  5. Sprinkle 4 basil leaves onto each plate.
  6. Cut the Burrata into quarters. It's so creamy - make sure you use a sharp knife and make one cut. Carefully place 2 quarters onto each place.
