A light and refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, mixed greens, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick, easy, and impressive meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, radicchio)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice each in half and remove the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill or pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to get char marks. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes or until softened but not mushy.
  4. While peaches are grilling, toss the salad greens and torn basil leaves in a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Arrange the greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Place grilled peach halves on top, cut side up.
  6. Tear the burrata gently into pieces and scatter over the peaches and greens.
  7. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad. Add a final sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts on top for added crunch.

Notes

Do not overcook peaches; they should be tender but still hold their shape. Handle burrata gently by tearing it by hand rather than slicing. For homemade balsamic glaze, reduce balsamic vinegar with honey over low heat until syrupy. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is fresh. Store components separately if saving leftovers.
