What Is Burrata Cheese?
Burrata is a soft Italian cheese that’s made from cow’s milk. It has a firm exterior with a soft, creamy inside that’s a mix of cream and shredded mozzarella (stracciatella). It has a fresh, creamy flavor that’s mild and delicate; you won’t find any sharp or funky cheese flavor with burrata!
Burrata could be labeled as mozzarella’s extra-creamy cousin, so if you like fresh mozzarella, burrata is going to taste like an upgrade that you’ll love!

Notes
- Unfortunately, this salad doesn't store well. The peaches and avocados will turn brown, the overall texture will soften and wilt, and the burrata will release excess liquid, which will affect the texture and taste.
- Select peaches that are ripe but firm, as they will hold their shape better when cut into wedges and grilled. Soft peaches may break down when cooking and turn mushy in the salad.
- If burrata is not available, try soft goat cheese, feta, or fresh mozzarella. They all work great for this recipe.
- Slice avocados last and toss lightly with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Swap peaches for nectarines or apricots; grilled pineapple works great, too.
- For a different crunch, use toasted almonds, walnuts, or pistachios instead of pecans.
- For a vegetarian version, omit prosciutto; for a vegan take, omit both prosciutto and burrata and swap the honey for maple syrup or agave.
