SUMMER SALADS > 🍑🍅🧀
This is an easy summer salad to whip up as a side dish, appetizer or even lunch/dinner (just add protein and you’re set!) 😍 no cooking required, just using the best summer produce to make the perfect salad 🍑
No salad is complete without cheese 🧀 in this salad I’m using burrata which is the PERFECT summer cheese. It’s light, creamy and oozes a rich cheese in the center when opened up.
What you’ll need:
🍑 2 peaches
🍑 2 roma/heriloom tomatoes or 1 cup cherry tomatoes
🍑 fresh basil leaves
🍑 1 fresh burrata ball
🍑 salted pistachios
🍑 drizzle of honey
Dressing:
🍅 2 tbsp olive oil
🍅 1 tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic
🍅 1 tsp freshly chopped basil
🍅 squeeze of lemon juice
🍅 salt & pepper to taste
Chop up your stone fruit roughly and add to a bowl. Mix together your dressing and pour it over the tomatoes and peaches. Add them to a dish and top with burrata cheese, basil leaves and pistachios. Add on a drizzle of honey if you’d like a hint of sweetness OR balsamic glaze if you’d like it more savory 🍅
SAVE so you can make this super simple summer salad on repeat 🌞🍑

In addition to the basic ingredients, consider experimenting with different nuts like toasted almonds or walnuts for added crunch and nutrition. You can also customize the salad by adding a protein such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make it a more filling meal. Fresh herbs aside from basil, like mint or arugula, complement the sweetness of the peaches and the creaminess of the burrata nicely. When preparing the dressing, adjusting the balance between the acidity of the vinegar and the sweetness of the honey or balsamic glaze can completely change the vibe of the salad, so feel free to tailor it to your preference. This salad is fantastic for summer gatherings or a quick lunch because it uses vibrant, seasonal produce that requires no cooking, keeping it light and refreshing. Lastly, for a playful twist, you can add a sprinkle of chili flakes or freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors with a little heat, perfect for those who love a little extra kick in their salads.
Missed the pistachios but it was great!
