I don't think I've ever made a salad that tastes more like summer than this Tomato, Peach & Burrata Salad.

Tomato, Peach & Burrata Salad Recipe
Ingredients, Swaps, & Tips
Peaches: Look for ripe, fragrant peaches for the best natural sweetness. Nectarines work great too!
Cherry tomatoes: Add a juicy, slightly tangy bite. Use a mix of colors for a beautiful presentation, or swap for heirloom tomatoes.
Shallot: Adds a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor. Thinly slicing helps mellow the bite.
Olive oil: I recommend using a higher-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
Apple cider vinegar: Adds the perfect tang to balance the sweetness of the peaches.
Lemon juice: Brightens up the dressing. Freshly squeezed is best!
Honey: Adds a touch of sweetness to round out the dressing.
Salt & black pepper: Simple seasonings that bring all the flavors together.
Burrata: The creamy, indulgent centerpiece of this salad! Look for a fresh ball in the deli or specialty cheese section.
Basil: Adds a fresh, herby finish.
Pistachios: Add the perfect crunch. Feel free to swap for your favorite nut or seeds for a nut-free option.

Swap the burrata for a dairy-free burrata or fresh dairy-free mozzarella alternative.

Variations
Add greens: Arugula is a great addition to this salad! I usually add about 2 large handfuls, but only add it if you're planning to eat the salad right away so it doesn't get soggy.
Equipment
Storage
This tomato, peach and burrata salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
Top Tips for Success
Use a slotted spoon when serving! The peaches and tomatoes release juices as they rest, so using a slotted spoon to transfer them onto the burrata keeps the salad from becoming watery.
Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend slicing the peaches, tomatoes and shallot and whisking the dressing ahead of time, but wait to assemble with the burrata until just before serving for the best texture.
This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, or served alongside crusty bread as an appetizer. I love pairing it with my Hot Honey Chicken Thighs or BBQ Chicken Thighs!
