Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula leaves, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
  • Optional: fresh basil leaves for added aroma

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse peaches, pat dry, halve and pit them. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, mix hot honey with lemon juice. Adjust heat by adding more honey or chili flakes if desired.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss arugula with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Arrange dressed arugula on a serving platter. Tear burrata into chunks and distribute evenly over the greens.
  7. Slice each grilled peach half into 3-4 wedges and arrange around burrata and arugula.
  8. Drizzle the hot honey glaze generously over the entire salad.
  9. Finish with optional toasted pine nuts or walnuts and fresh basil leaves if using.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling for better creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving to keep arugula crisp and burrata fresh. Hot honey glaze can be made ahead and stored refrigerated.
