Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Cheese

  • 4 ripe but firm yellow peaches
  • 8 oz burrata cheese

Greens and Garnish

  • 4 cups mixed greens or arugula
  • 1/2 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for roasting)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yellow peaches: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the yellow peaches in half and remove the pits. Arrange them cut-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for about 15 minutes until tender and caramelized. Roasting intensifies their sweetness and softens their texture.
  2. Make the pomegranate dressing: Combine pomegranate molasses, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and emulsified. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to balance the tartness and sweetness perfectly.
  3. Assemble the salad base: On a large serving platter, lay down a generous bed of mixed greens or arugula. The peppery greens provide a fresh contrast to the rich burrata and sweet peaches.
  4. Add roasted peaches and burrata: Once the peaches have cooled slightly, arrange them on top of the greens. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter it evenly across the salad for creamy pockets of indulgence.
  5. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and drizzle dressing: Sprinkle fresh pomegranate seeds over the assembled salad to add bursts of bright color and juicy, tart flavor. Finally, drizzle the pomegranate dressing liberally over the entire salad right before serving.

Notes

  • Select ripe peaches that are fragrant but still firm to ensure the best roasting results.
  • Don’t over-roast the peaches to avoid mushiness and maintain their shape.
  • Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for maximum creaminess.
  • Make the pomegranate dressing ahead of time to deepen the flavors.
  • Use fresh pomegranate seeds rather than dried or packaged for superior texture and taste.
