Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring juicy nectarines and creamy burrata cheese, drizzled with honey balsamic glaze and fresh basil for a refreshing twist on the classic Caprese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh nectarines, ripe but firm
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, room temperature
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey balsamic glaze
  • A pinch of flaky sea salt (preferably Maldon salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry nectarines carefully. Slice each nectarine into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick, taking care not to press too hard to keep slices intact and juicy.
  2. Remove burrata from packaging and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften.
  3. Arrange nectarine slices on a serving platter in a circular pattern or overlapping rows.
  4. Tear burrata into chunks and distribute evenly over the nectarines.
  5. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
  6. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and honey balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
  7. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Optional: Toast pine nuts or walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, then sprinkle over the salad.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the salad at its freshest.

Notes

Use ripe but firm nectarines to avoid mushiness. Let burrata come to room temperature for best creaminess. Toast nuts for added crunch and flavor. Drizzle honey balsamic glaze last to control sweetness. Prepare nectarines and toast nuts while burrata rests to save time. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 24 hours but are best fresh.
