Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 34 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or chopped crispy candied pecans for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Cut peaches in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. Place peaches cut side down on the hot grill. Cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Slice tomatoes into thick rounds (about ½ inch). Arrange on serving platter.
  4. Tear or slice burrata into bite-sized pieces and arrange over tomatoes. Scatter fresh basil leaves evenly over salad.
  5. Cut grilled peaches into wedges or slices and layer on top of tomatoes and burrata.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  7. Drizzle dressing evenly over salad. Optionally sprinkle toasted pine nuts or candied pecans. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let burrata come to room temperature before assembling for best creaminess. Use ripe but firm peaches to hold shape on grill. Assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata texture. If no grill available, broil peaches in oven for 4-5 minutes watching closely. Optional nuts add crunch and sweetness.
