Print Recipe

A fresh and flavorful summer salad combining juicy nectarines with creamy burrata cheese, dressed in a sweet and tangy honey balsamic dressing. Perfect for quick, effortless entertaining or a refreshing weekday meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh nectarines, ripe but firm
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 ounces / 225 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste (optional)
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse nectarines under cold water and pat dry. Cut each into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons honey. Whisk until honey dissolves.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil while whisking vigorously to emulsify the dressing. Adjust seasoning with salt or more honey if desired.
  4. If using greens, rinse and dry thoroughly. Place in a large serving bowl or platter as the salad base.
  5. Tear burrata gently into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the greens or serving plate.
  6. Arrange nectarine slices evenly around and on top of the cheese.
  7. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the salad. Season lightly with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  8. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over the salad. Toss gently if serving in a bowl, or let guests mix on their plates.
  9. Optionally, add a few whole basil leaves or a drizzle more honey on top before serving.

Notes

Slice nectarines just before serving to prevent browning. Keep burrata cold until serving for best texture. Store leftovers with dressing separate and consume within 24 hours. Dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead and whisked before use.
