Description
A vibrant and refreshing appetizer that combines sweet, juicy summer fruits with creamy burrata cubes and a crunchy pistachio topping, drizzled with a honey-balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz burrata cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 cups mixed summer fruits (such as sliced peaches, cherries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pistachios for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to make the dressing.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the mixed summer fruits with the dressing until evenly coated.
- Arrange the dressed fruit on a serving platter or individual plates. Scatter the burrata cubes over the fruit.
- Sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the top and season with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season summer fruits. The burrata can be replaced with fresh mozzarella if unavailable, but burrata adds a creamier texture. Toast the pistachios just before serving to maintain crunch.
