Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, and a drizzle of honey. Perfect for entertaining or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe but firm peaches
  • 8 ounces burrata (1 large ball or 2 small)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 3 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt (e.g., Maldon), for finishing
  • 6–8 fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Let it heat for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry peaches. Cut in half along the natural seam, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil and season with a tiny pinch of salt.
  3. Grill peaches cut side down for 3-4 minutes without moving, until distinct grill marks appear. Flip and grill skin side for 1-2 minutes more. Remove to a plate and let cool slightly.
  4. Place arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Spread dressed arugula on a serving platter. Arrange grilled peach halves cut side up on top. Tear burrata into 4-6 pieces and distribute around the peaches.
  6. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons honey over the entire salad. If using, drizzle balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper. Scatter torn basil leaves and toasted nuts (if using). Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is cold and creamy.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to hold up on the grill. Let burrata come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for best texture. Don’t dress arugula too far in advance to avoid wilting. Season in layers: salt peaches before grilling, salt arugula when dressing, and finish with flaky salt.
