Notes
Storage
Store any burrata and peaches salad leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. If you can, try and store any extra peaches or burrata in separate container so the arugula doesn't wilt or become soggy. You can grill the peaches up to a couple hours before and then assemble the salad right before serving.Expert Tips
- Use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape when sliced or seared.
- Grilling or pan-searing caramelizes the sugars and adds a subtle smoky depth to balance the creamy burrata.
- Tear the burrata just before serving to keep it fresh and creamy.
- A pinch of flaky salt elevates the sweetness of the peaches and the richness of the cheese.
Notes
- You can skip grilling or searing the peaches to keep this recipe completely no-cook.
- For added crunch, top with toasted almonds, pistachios, or pine nuts.
- Arugula can be substituted with baby spinach or mixed greens if preferred.
