Fresh rosé burrito salad recipe

This pink salad is full of flavor and texture and has become one of my summer salads! It’s perfect for summer meals or fresh summer side dishes.
I have been repeating this fresh peach salad since peaches entered season this year. You know I like our salad recipes, but This peach and burrito salad quickly became a summer saladso much so that I beg you to stop what you are doing and get fresh peaches right away so you can do it!
It has everything you need: fresh, sweet peaches, creamy hair cheese, Zippy dressing, summer herbs and butter roasted nuts for some brittleness. I’m obsessed with it and think you will, too. Enjoy a summer dinner or enjoy next time with grilled chicken, marinated pork chops or grilled steak!
Key Ingredients
- peach: This is a salad made during peach season. We want sweet peaches that still maintain a strong flavor. Peaches are slightly better in the salad. Nectarines or fresh apricots are also good alternatives. If you have some peaches left, use them to make this perfect peach or my vanilla peach muffin in the morning.
- Burrata: Peach and burritos are one of my favorite combinations, but you can swap burritos for homemade labneh, iotica, thipped ricotta or whipped feta. Indeed, anything with cream will do it. If you do use burrata, you need a more typical creamy texture, which needs to be closer to room temperature, rather than directly with the refrigerator. There was 30 minutes on the counter to fix the problem (because the salad took about 20 minutes, I pulled the cheese out 10 minutes before starting).
- Basil and parsley: Like my favorite summer recipes, we are busy with fresh herbs. Use a variety of basils (Genovese, Thai, Opal, etc.) and then for parsley, I prefer the texture of flat leaves.
- onion: I like sweet onions that are sliced with peaches (think Walla or Vidalia). Since they sit in the seasoning, they soften and have a very good sweetness with the fruit.
- Matsuko: You can’t beat buttery, toasted pine nuts, but I know they can be expensive, so feel free to substitute other things like sliced almonds, chopped pecans, or even sunflower seeds.
- Vinegar, lemon and olive oil: I love the taste of champagne vinegar (Prosecco vinegar is also very good). If you don’t have that, try using rice wine vinegar. For lemons, it is best to be fresh. Any high-quality olive oil will work here.
- Salt, sugar and pepper: We use salt and sugar in the seasoning to marinate the peaches. They both struggled to absorb the flavor of peaches and salads. You don’t need a lot, but they are a powerful combination. I prefer fresh black pepper, but use what you have.
- Balsamic glaze: This is our last step. A quick drizzle drizzle with a thick sweet balsamic glaze really takes this salad to the next level. You can usually find balsamic glaze in the condiment aisles in most grocery stores. It is sweeter and thicker than regular balm. If you can’t find anything, you can do it (I provide the tips below the recipe) or use a high-quality balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, which is usually thicker and sweet by default.

This pink salad recurs in our homes when peach season is in. The peaches are sweet, the dressing is zippered, we have a lot of fresh herbs, and the creamy hairy cheese brings all the medicine together. It’s truly one of the most delicious summer salads I’ve made in a while. You can think of it as a zipper made of peaches, Herbier Caprese salad.

direction
1Burrata: Remove from the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before starting the salad to soften the center.
2Matsuko: Bake in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until golden. Shake the pans from time to time so they don’t burn.
3dressing: In a medium bowl, divide parsley leaves, sliced onions, toasted pine nuts, 1½ tablespoons champagne vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
4Pickled peaches: In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Try gently. Add 3/4 of the basil leaves and toss again. Let stand for marinating for 5 minutes.
5Finished salad: Pour salad dressing over the marinated peaches and toss it gently. Pour the salad on a plate and spoon some dressing from the bottom of the bowl. Sprinkle the excess basil leaves on the peaches, then tear the burritos roughly into large chunks, and place them on top of the peaches. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
Adam and Joanne’s Tips
- storage: The basil may turn brown over time, but after a day or two I made it, I was happy to eat this salad. Therefore, the burrata is slightly softened and let the salad be released at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before enjoying.
- More burrata: If you are like me, you can lower the Burrata yourself. This salad splits a ball into 4 parts, so feel free to double the Burrata.
- Burrata alternatives: Try creamy lipstick, ricotta, whipped ricotta or whipped feta.
- Balsamic glaze: You can usually find balsamic glaze in the condiment aisles in most grocery stores. If you can’t find one, try a high-quality balm, which is usually much thicker and sweeter than a standard balsamic vinegar. You can also make your homemade glaze by gently stirring the plain balsamic vinegar with a small amount of brown sugar until it thickens and shines.
