Summer Peach & Burrata Salad with Prosciutto

This delicious spin on the Caprese salad features creamy burrata instead of mozzarella, sweet peaches in place of tomatoes, and a savory addition of prosciutto.
This peach, burrata, and prosciutto salad is a fun twist on the classic Caprese salad made with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Meaning “buttery” in Italian, burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella cheese, while the inside is a blend of fresh mozzarella and cream. This gorgeous summer salad is a great way to enjoy it. Sweet summery peaches make a luscious stand-in for tomatoes and contrast nicely with salty prosciutto and crunchy pine nuts.

i made this on the fly a few weeks ago. Yum! Now, I’d like to make it for a crowd. How far in advance can I make it without the peaches turning brown? Should I sprinkle with lemon juice or will it impact the taste?
And for those of you who may be tempted to substitute mozzarella for convenience, DON’T! Mozzarella is good; Burrata is something extraordinary!
Thanks, Jen!
So glad you liked it! You could prep all the ingredients in advance and store them separately. Then assemble it right before serving. (And it would be fine to toss the peaches with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.)
With fresh SC peaches, this was the best!!
Wow, this is a delicious summer salad!!! The only change I made was to arrange the salad on a bed of arugula. Amazing!
This was so delicious, and I used the idea of arranging on a bed of arugula – perfect!
I loved the combination of flavors in this recipe. I didn’t change anything from the recipe and it turned out perfect. Will serve this again soon.
Another positively delicious recipe. Thank-you Jenn! We had some fresh figs so I added them to the plate as well; very good, especially with the proscuitto. I was able to find burrata at a gourmet grocery, but at twice the price of fresh mozzarella I went with the mozzarella. I do want to try the burrata for a special occasion.
Another winner! Your recipes never fail. I make caprese salad frequently, but the burrata and prosciutto were a nice change that took this salad to a new level. The toasted pine nuts added so much depth. We did half with tomatoes and half with peaches, and I actually preferred the tomatoes as the peaches are just SO sweet this time of year. Also used the balsamic glaze recommended in your caprese recipe. Thanks for posting so many great recipes!
I followed this recipe to the letter with the minor exception of 2 yellow peaches & 1 white peach. It is positively DIVINE! I would do it that way again, but no more than one white peach, as they are considerably sweeter than even the Red Haven variety of yellow peach that I used, which was enough to make it interesting without turning it into a dessert!
Oops….forgot the rating: absolutely 5 stars!
Oh, my, gosh…the BEST salad we’ve had in a very, very long time. My husband is not a “foodie” at all and even HE couldn’t stop saying “mmmm, this is a keeper”, and “wow, this is delicious…we should serve this at our next dinner party or take this to a friends house as a side dish”. I’ve never had Burrata cheese before trying this salad and now I can’t stop eating it!
Yet another amazing recipe from Jenn!
Absolute perfection! Salty, sweet, tangy…a summer delight Definitely a keeper and make again and again !
I couldn’t get burrata at the farmers’ market today so they suggested fresh goat cheese. Think it will be okay. I did get lovely fresh peaches though!
Yes Marjory, I think goat cheese will also be tasty here. Enjoy!
