Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a tangy honey balsamic dressing. Perfect for warm evenings, entertaining, or a fresh treat when peaches are in season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz ball of fresh burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (aged recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit carefully with a knife or spoon. Brush each peach half lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. (3-5 minutes)
  3. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and they start to soften. Flip and grill the rounded side for another 2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. The peaches should be juicy but still hold their shape. (7-8 minutes)
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and remaining olive oil until smooth and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as you prefer. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (3 minutes)
  5. If using greens, place baby arugula or mixed greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into chunks and arrange over the salad or directly on the plate. Place the grilled peaches on top, skin side down for presentation.
  6. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over the salad. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves and toasted nuts for crunch. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (3 minutes)
  7. Serve immediately while the peaches are still warm and burrata is cool and creamy. Optionally serve alongside crusty bread or a light white wine.

Notes

If peaches are too soft to grill, chill them slightly before slicing or choose firmer varieties. Do not overcrowd the grill to ensure proper caramelization. Make dressing last minute to avoid honey crystallization. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella (less creamy) or for dairy-free options, use marinated tofu or avocado slices. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or plums. Store components separately if making ahead and assemble just before serving.
