Preserved Peach and Burrata Salad

Ingredients

1 pint Preserved Peaches in Syrup, drained and cut into ¾-inch wedges2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1 (8-ounce) ball burrata cheese ½ teaspoon flake sea salt ½ teaspoon cracked pepper 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces7 fresh basil leaves, torn2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Before You Begin

Burrata is cream-filled fresh mozzarella cheese. Two 4-ounce balls of burrata can be used if you can't find an 8-ounce ball. To crack the pepper, either adjust your pepper mill to the coarse-grind setting or smash a few peppercorns with a rolling pin in a zipper-lock bag. Cider vinegar can be substituted for the white wine vinegar, if desired.

Instructions

  1.  Gently toss peaches with vinegar in bowl; set aside. Place burrata in center of large platter and cut into 8 to 10 pieces. Distribute burrata evenly on platter. Distribute peaches among burrata pieces. Sprinkle burrata and peaches with salt and pepper.
  2.  Distribute prosciutto and basil among peaches and burrata. Drizzle with oil and serve.

Why This Recipe Works

We sliced our Preserved Peaches in Syrup and quickly marinated them in a little vinegar while assembling the rest of the salad. For ease, we cut creamy burrata cheese into pieces right on the serving platter before arranging the peaches around the dish and sprinkling everything with salt and pepper. Bite-size slices of salty prosciutto, sweet fresh basil, and a hefty dose of olive oil topped off this salad for a summertime treat that can be enjoyed year-round.
