Peach and Burrata Salad – Amazing 1-Step Fresh Recipe

Peach and burrata salad has a way of stealing the spotlight at any summer table. One bite and you’re in sunshine-soaked territory, where creamy cheese, sweet fruit, and herb-packed vinaigrette combine into a dish that tastes like pure joy. I first fell in love with this combo during a summer trip to Sonoma—where roadside peaches were sold out of crates and dinner often began with burrata drizzled in olive oil. That experience inspired the version I’m sharing today, one I’ve perfected over countless warm evenings.

This salad isn’t just about tossing greens with fruit. It’s a thoughtful layering of seasonal produce, fresh herbs, and bold textures. Whether you’re serving it for a brunch spread, a weeknight side, or a showpiece for guests, this peach and burrata salad delivers the kind of wow-factor usually reserved for fancy kitchens.

And the best part? It’s surprisingly easy to put together. Just like my crispy rice salad, it offers that perfect balance of simplicity and flavor.

Summer’s Brightest Pairing—Peach and Burrata Salad

Why burrata and peach are made for each other

Peach and burrata salad works because it thrives on contrast. You get the cool creaminess of burrata, the juicy sweetness of ripe peaches, and the bright acidity of cherry tomatoes. Add in fresh cherries and it becomes even more exciting.

Burrata is naturally rich and silky, so pairing it with fresh stone fruit makes every bite feel balanced. Much like in my celery apple pistachio salad, texture plays a key role in bringing the dish to life.

The magic of herbs, crunch, and vinaigrette

The homemade vinaigrette is what ties this salad together. Made with olive oil, vinegar, fresh herbs, and lemon zest, it offers a tangy punch that soaks into the fruit and elevates every layer. A handful of toasted pumpkin seeds adds that unexpected crunch—just like I do in this grilled zucchini and corn taco.

Let the tomatoes, cherries, and peaches marinate in the vinaigrette for at least 15 minutes before assembling. That rest time infuses the produce and makes each bite more flavorful.

Pairing and Serving Peach and Burrata Salad

It also pairs well with:

• Sparkling rosé or white wine
  
• Charred corn on the cob

Seasonal twists and ingredient swaps

Not into cherries? Try strawberries or blackberries instead. You can even swap the peaches for nectarines or plums. If you can’t find burrata, a quality fresh mozzarella (or even whipped ricotta) makes a good stand-in.

Add grilled shrimp or leftover rotisserie chicken to turn this into a full meal, similar to what I do in my cajun pickled shrimp plate.

The real win here is how adaptable this salad is. You can riff on it endlessly while still holding onto the spirit of what makes it special—peaches, burrata, and that herby dressing.
