Ingredients
- 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or whole
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
- Halve and pit the peaches; lightly brush cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Hull and halve the strawberries; handle gently with tongs.
- Place peaches cut-side down on the grill; cook 3–4 minutes without moving to get char marks. Flip and grill the other side for 2 minutes.
- Add strawberries to the grill; cook about 1–2 minutes per side until slightly softened and marked.
- Transfer grilled peaches and strawberries to a serving platter; let cool slightly but serve warm.
- Tear or gently place burrata on the platter alongside the grilled fruit.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over everything.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Optional: sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts for texture contrast.
- Serve immediately while fruit is warm and burrata is soft and creamy.
Notes
Use fresh, ripe but firm peaches and strawberries for best grilling results. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Handle strawberries gently to avoid breaking. Serve salad immediately while fruit is warm and burrata is creamy. Burrata should be at room temperature for best texture. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with ripe avocado slices or plant-based creamy cheese. If no grill is available, roast under broiler or sauté in skillet.
