    How to Make Summer Burrata and Stone Fruit Harvest Salad

    Total time: 25 min · Yields 2 servings

    1. 1

      Prepare the Vinaigrette

      In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well emulsified. Taste and adjust acidity if needed.

    2. 2

      Build the Green Foundation

      In a large shallow bowl or platter, toss the arugula, mint, and basil with 1 tablespoon of the dressing to lightly coat. Layer the thinly sliced red onions over the greens.

    3. 3

      Arrange the Fruit and Corn

      Artfully nestle the peach wedges, cherry halves, and charred corn kernels into the bed of greens, ensuring an even distribution of colors.

    4. 4

      Add the Burrata

      Place the burrata ball in the center of the salad. Using a knife or fork, gently tear the outer shell to allow the creamy stracciatella center to spill out slightly.

    5. 5

      Garnish and Serve

      Drizzle the remaining dressing generously over the fruit and cheese. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and an extra pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately while peaches are fresh.

    Chef's Tips

    • To prevent red onions from being too pungent, soak the slices in ice water for 10 minutes before adding to the salad.
    • For extra depth, grill the peach wedges for 1-2 minutes per side before adding them to the bowl.
    • Ensure your burrata is at room temperature for the creamiest texture.

    What to Serve with Summer Burrata and Stone Fruit Harvest Salad

    The garlic butter sauce is the star — pick sides that soak it up or balance the richness.

    • Serve with toasted sourdough slices rubbed with a garlic clove.
    • Pairs perfectly with a chilled glass of Rosé or Sauvignon Blanc.
    • Add grilled shrimp or shredded rotisserie chicken for a heartier protein boost.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I use different fruits?

    Absolutely! Nectarines, plums, or even fresh strawberries work beautifully as substitutes for peaches.

    Is there a vegan alternative?

    You can replace the burrata with a dollop of vegan almond-based ricotta or chunks of ripe avocado for creaminess.

    How long will this salad keep?

    This salad is best served immediately. Once dressed, the arugula will wilt within an hour.
