Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 ripe, firm yellow peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (basil or mint), chopped

Pomegranate Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh pomegranate juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for roasting
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Seasoning for Roasting

  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil drizzle (about 1 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Yellow Peaches: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve and pit the yellow peaches, placing them cut side up on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes until peaches are tender and golden with caramelized edges.
  2. Prepare the Pomegranate Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh pomegranate juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well-balanced between tart and sweet.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the roasted peaches on a serving plate. Gently tear the burrata over the top and scatter the fresh pomegranate seeds evenly. Drizzle generously with the pomegranate dressing and sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs like basil or mint for a fragrant finish.

Notes

  • Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushy results after roasting.
  • Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for maximum creaminess.
  • Use fresh pomegranate juice rather than bottled for the most vibrant, tangy dressing.
  • Try alternative herbs such as fresh thyme or oregano for a savory twist.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even roasting and easy cleanup.
