Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 balls of burrata cheese, cut in half
- 2 large ripe nectarines (or sub peaches)
- 2 medium heirloom tomatoes
- optional: 1 cooked beet, diced
- 1/8 cup thinly sliced red onion
- handful of small basil leaves
- pinch salt and cracked pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar ( or sub regular balsamic, or champagne vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- pinch salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Carefully cut the Burrata Cheese in half and place the open side down in the center of 4 plates. ( See notes for creating a platter.)
- Cut nectarines into half-inch wedges and divide among four plates in a crescent moon shape.
- Cut tomatoes into half-inch wedges and arrange between the nectarines, keeping the crescent shape.
- Cut the roasted beet into a very small dice and scatter over the crescent.
- Add the onion if using.
- Scatter torn basil leaves (or cut into ribbons) over the crescent.
- Season the plates with sea salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together, then spoon it over everything.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Instead of individually plating, you could easily arrange this on a platter- feel free to quarter the burrata balls.
I love the flavor of white balsamic vinegar here, but regular balsamic works fine too!
The dressing and beets can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
