A simple and refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a sweet tangy honey balsamic dressing. Perfect for quick dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, firm but ripe, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula or baby spinach recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing peaches
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Brush each peach half lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, and extra virgin olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, adjust to taste.
  6. On a large platter or bowl, spread a bed of mixed greens. Tear or slice burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  7. Slice each grilled peach half into wedges and arrange on top of the salad.
  8. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over the salad.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling to enhance creaminess. Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. For vegan version, substitute burrata with nut-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
