Print Recipe

A delightful summer salad combining honey-roasted peaches, creamy burrata, and crunchy candied walnuts, balanced with fresh herbs and a light dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup walnut halves
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • A handful of fresh basil or mint leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Rinse, halve, and pit the peaches. Place them cut side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey evenly over the peach halves.
  3. Roast peaches in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and golden with a slight caramelized edge, but not mushy.
  4. While peaches roast, melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and stir until dissolved and bubbling slightly.
  5. Add walnuts to the saucepan and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to coat evenly. Spread walnuts on parchment paper to cool and harden.
  6. On a large serving plate, tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces. Scatter chopped basil or mint leaves over the cheese.
  7. Arrange the roasted peaches around and on top of the burrata once slightly cooled. Sprinkle the cooled candied walnuts over the salad.
  8. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the salad. Squeeze 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice on top, then season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy burrata and warm peaches.

Notes

Watch peaches closely while roasting to avoid burning; they should be tender but hold shape. Stir candied walnuts constantly to prevent burning sugar. Bring burrata to room temperature before assembling for best texture. Lemon juice balances sweetness and brightens flavors. Fresh herbs like basil or mint add brightness. Store components separately if making ahead.
