This colorful Tomato, Peach, and Burrata salad is summer on a plate with the most delicious herb vinaigrette and plenty of sweet summer fruits and burrata cheese. Juicey cherry tomatoes, sweet peaches, and fresh basil tossed together with an herby, tangy honey vinaigrette. Serve this fresh summer salad over creamy burrata cheese and top with with toasted pumpkin seeds for a healthy crunch. It’s simple to throw together, but so fresh and flavorful!

Clearly I felt like our Wednesday needs lots of color and summer vibes. As I said above, salad is really what summer is all about. Tomatoes, peaches, and herbs in their raw form…and with a darn good amount of cheese too.

It’s all of my favorite things in one bowl, I’m kind of obsessed.

Before I left for my trip on Monday, per usual I was really working to get everything done and tidy things up before heading out of town for a week. One of my favorite peach growers, The Peach Truck, sent me a box of peaches earlier in the week. And then, Hood River Cherry Company also sent a bucket full of fresh cherries. Which I have to say are the BEST cherries I’ve ever tasted…so good you guys.

I didn’t want anything to go to waste. So, at the very, very last minute I made this salad with the tomatoes and fruit I had on hand. I also used herbs from the garden and the two balls of burrata cheese I had left in the fridge.

I really didn’t have time to be making this, but I did, and it’s was surely the right move. Hands down, this is my favorite recipe of the week.

Alright details – start with the vinaigrette

As you might have imagined, this is pretty simple. Especially seeing as it’s really just an overly extravagant caprese salad.

Start with the vinaigrette, which is key when it comes to additional flavor on this salad. It’s an olive oil basil balsamic honey vinaigrette made with a small amount of raw shallot and plenty of herbs. The shallot adds this nice really subtle flavor, while the herbs and lemon brighten things up.

For the herbs, I went heavy on the basil and oregano, then added pinches of fresh dill and thyme. You can use any combination of herbs you love most, but when it comes to a summer salad with tomatoes and peaches, I always say to add basil.

Now the salad

For the salad, you need fresh cherry tomatoes, peaches, and sweet cherries (or another stone fruit you love).

We’re going to toss the salad with the vinaigrette, then let everything sit and marinate for a bit to really develop and bring on those delicious flavors.

Finish it up

To serve, I love arranging the salad in either a big bowl or on a serving plate. Then I take the burrata cheese and break it over the salad. Top with fresh herbs, toasted pumpkin seeds, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Then just add crusty toasted bread on the side for scooping up the salad…and that’s how I do it!

Not a lot of effort, but such a gorgeous and delicious end result.

This makes a great appetizer or side dish to any summer dinner. You could even enjoy this as an afternoon snack.

And if you’re hosting friends for dinner? Make this, it never disappoints, and it doubles as the prettiest centerpiece for any summer table!

    One our family’s absolute favorites! Feels like a lot of work the first time, but very much worth it! The next time, and those that followed, felt much easier.

    1. Hi Sarah,
      Happy Monday!! Love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for trying and your feedback! xT

    I have been making this every other week for the past six weeks for dinners with friends, etc. It has been the biggest hit

  3. 4 stars
    I liked liked this salad very much, but I use a rather expensive balsamic vinegar that is quite sweet and thick so I will make it again and omit the honey.

  4. I love this salad! 10/10. But fyi I think in your video you say red wine vinegar, and in the written recipe you’ve called for balsamic (or champagne). I personally like red wine for this!

    Heaven! Everyone wanted the recipe. Used blueberries instead of cherries. Highly recommend! Thanks for another great one.

  6. Hi Tieghan. I can’t wait to try this! Could you make the dressing a day before serving or does it need to be made fresh? X

    This is the best summer salad I’ve ever had. So so good! I wasn’t sure about the tomatoes with the fruit but it was incredible. I forgot to get pumpkin seeds so used pistachios. Yum!

    I love this combo. I had beautiful heirloom tomatoes, cherries, basil, and peaches from the farmer’s market and this was the perfect showcase. I used fresh mozzarella instead of burrata and that worked beautifully. This is a winner when all that seasonal produce is at it’s peak. It’s also a great way to use peaches that are perhaps not as sweet as you would like for eating plain. I’ve made it 4 times in the past two weeks, and even made it while we were car camping. The fresh basil pulls it all together.

    I brought this to a cookout and plated it there. People were definitely skeptical but it was a huge hit. The flavors are amazing together. Truly inspired combination!

    This salad was a huge hit. I made it for a dinner party – did not even experiment first. My guests and I loved it.

  11. Question for those who have made this. The amount of EVOO in this seems excessive. Did you use the entire amount of oil??
