FAQs for making peach salad

How many people does this salad serve?

This peach salad recipe makes a large salad for two people. Scale up the recipe to serve more people and serve it on a large salad platter with small bowls on the side.

Which summer peaches are the best to use?

Using ripe, sweet peaches will work best in this recipe. You can use either white peaches or yellow peaches.

How do you know peaches are ripe?

Make sure they are soft to the touch and fragrant. Peaches continue to ripen after they’re pickled, so you can buy them a few days in advance at the grocery store and let them ripen at home.

How do I choose the best peaches for salad?

When you’re selecting fruit at the supermarket, choose bright, golden fruit that are firm with just a little bit of give and have a full peachy aroma. If your peach doesn’t smell like a peach, it just means it isn’t ripe yet and won’t taste as sweet as you’d like it to be for your salad.

What ingredients taste good with peaches?

I like the idea of adding an onion to fruit salads, like in my strawberry feta salad recipe. For peaches, adding in thin slices of red onion or sweet walla walla onions is a good idea. Because peaches are so sweet, they can handle arugula in a large quantity, as well. You can trade the butter lettuce for a large bowl of arugula or another strong flavored lettuce.

How do you make a balsamic vinaigrette?

If you want to make a dressing instead of drizzling the ingredients on top as mentioned above in the recipe steps, then in a bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Another salad dressing to try on this Summer salad? This lemon basil dressing.

How is burrata different than mozzarella?

Mozzarella and burrata cheese are similar, but at the same time they are very different! Burrata contains more cream, and thus has a higher calorie content, but it’s also more elastic in texture and has a more delicate taste. It’s the perfect match for this peach Caprese salad. If you can’t find burrata, you can substitute fresh mozzarella in this recipe– but be aware there’s a luxurious creaminess you’ll be missing.

Can I freeze burrata cheese?

I’m the queen of meal prep and my freezer is full of cheese, bread, and sous vide dinners pre-packaged in their vacuum bags, but burrata is one cheese I don’t freeze– it is always best fresh, and you’ll want to keep it in the refrigerator till you eat it. There’s a reason for the small packages this cheese comes in– once you cut into a burrata, you want to finish it.

What should I serve with my peach Caprese salad?

This peach salad with burrata and tomatoes can be served on its own as a light, work-from-home lunch, but it’s also delicious as a side to a fancy steak dinner or a sous vide whole chicken.
