Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and peppery arugula, dressed with a light lemon-honey vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh ripe peaches (firm but juicy)
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 ounces / 225 grams)
  • 4 cups arugula (about 120 grams), washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (45 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (5 ml), optional
  • Pinch of sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or walnuts, optional
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves, torn, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Cut each half into 3-4 wedges depending on size. Brush each peach slice lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Place peach slices cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss arugula with half the dressing until lightly coated.
  6. Arrange dressed arugula on a serving platter. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over greens. Place warm grilled peaches on top.
  7. Drizzle remaining dressing over peaches and burrata. Sprinkle with toasted nuts and fresh basil leaves if using. Finish with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are slightly warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Oil grill grates or pan to prevent sticking. Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for best creaminess. Toast nuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. If peaches are not ripe enough, grill a few extra minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
