Ingredients for peach panzanella salad with burrata:

crusty bread (the more stale the better!)
melted butter
tomatoes (cherry or grape)
cucumber
peaches
red onion
burrata cheese
fresh basil
balsamic
lemon juice
olive oil

This summer panzanella salad recipe is made with the traditional tuscan chopped salad ingredients but with the addition of juicy peaches and creamy burrata cheese.

You’ll want to use bread that is stale and crusty so it holds it shape and doesn’t become too soggy in the salad (ex: ciabatta, sourdough, country loaf).

I originally made this recipe with fresh mozzarella cheese, and while that's perfectly delicious, the burrata really made this panzanella salad a bit better.

I mean that creaminess from the burrata with the crusty bread and juicy tomatoes.

SO freaking good.

How to make this easy summer panzanella salad recipe:

Preheat your oven to 400 F. Melt your butter in the microwave and set aside.
Cut your bread into 1" chunks (doesn't have to be completely uniform). Place the chunks of bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle the melted butter over the bread and toss to evenly coat each piece of bread. Spread out onto the pan, then drizzle with a little olive oil for extra crunch. Bake about 10 minutes, flip each piece over and bake additional 5 minutes until nicely golden brown. Set aside.
In a small bowl or mason jar combine dressing ingredients: balsamic, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice & zest, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large serving bowl toss together tomatoes, cucumber, peaches, onion, basil, parsley and crunchy bread.
When ready to serve, drizzle with the balsamic dressing (I like to do a little bit, then add more if needed). Toss everything together and top with torn pieces of burrata cheese.

This panzanella salad is really so easy and quick making it the perfect summer salad for lunch, dinner or a last minute summer cookout recipe.

I love the addition of the peaches in this version of panzanella salad because they add a little sweetness, balancing out the acidity from the tomatoes and balsamic.

Can I make this peach panzanella salad with burrata ahead?

To make this panzanella ahead of time, I recommend keeping the bread and dressing separate until your ready to serve.

That way your salad is soggy before you get to eat it!

The bread can be baked ahead of time and kept in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days (make sure you let it cool completely before placing into the container).

You can make the balsamic dressing ahead and store it in a glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
