Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for a light lunch or a crowd-pleasing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved or cut into thick wedges
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz / 225 g)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling and grilling
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
  • 2 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Toasted candied pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut peaches in half and gently remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold their shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  5. If using greens, toss arugula or mixed greens lightly with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  6. Tear or slice the burrata into chunks.
  7. On a serving platter, arrange the greens as a base if using. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and place evenly over the greens.
  8. Distribute the burrata over the peaches and greens.
  9. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the salad. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Drizzle balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil generously over the salad.
  11. Sprinkle toasted candied pecans or walnuts if desired.
  12. Serve immediately to enjoy the burrata creamy and peaches vibrant.

Notes

If balsamic glaze is too thick, thin with a teaspoon of warm water for easier drizzling. Watch peaches closely on the grill to avoid mushiness. Burrata is delicate; tear gently by hand rather than slicing. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Can substitute nectarines for peaches or use vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.
