Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use a different cheese?
Yes, while it won’t be a peaches and burrata salad anymore, it would also be delicious with goat cheese or feta cheese.
Can you use a different nut?
Yes, you can absolutely use roasted pecans, walnuts, or pine nuts if that’s what you have and that’s what you prefer.
Storage Instructions
This fresh peach salad recipe is best served immediately. Because the baby arugula and baby romaine are so delicate, they will start to wilt when they are dressed.
Here are a few things you can prep ahead so this salad comes together really quickly:
- Make dressing and store in jar. If you make it a few days in advance, store it in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before serving.
- Chop almonds and store in an airtight container
- Slice peaches a few hours in advance and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning
What to Serve with Summer Peach Salad
This is definitely a side-sized salad, unless you double or triple the portion size. Serve with a grilled protein like grilled chicken thighs, garlic lemon grilled chicken, or grilled salmon foil packets.

This was SO good! Thank you!

I served this salad for a summer soltice luncheon. I wanted something a little different than just a regular green salad. I had never heard of white balsamic vinegar but was able to find it. Have no experience either with burrata cheese so I used mozzarella instead. Also, I toasted the almonds slightly after chopping. I cut the mozzarella into very small cubes. Also the only dijon mustard I had also had a little horseradish so I also added extra horseradish to it. If making just for my family I would probably use more, as we like horseradish. Let me tell you, this salad was delicious !!!! Make the large portion of the dressing, even if you don’t need all of it. You can use it on any salad. It is going to be my go to salad in the future. As the post says, it is a little bit fancy, thus impressive. I made the largest portion and arranged on a very large round platter. So pretty ! Got lots of compliments and requests for the recipe.
