Print Recipe

A light and satisfying summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata and fresh basil, drizzled with honey and balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (about 225g) fresh burrata, drained
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and flesh softens slightly.
  4. Flip peaches and grill skin side for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter on a serving platter. Add torn basil leaves evenly over the cheese.
  6. Arrange warm grilled peaches around and atop the burrata.
  7. Drizzle honey, balsamic vinegar, and remaining olive oil over the salad. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add toasted nuts if using.
  8. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow flavors to mingle.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushy texture. Brush grill grates and peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Add balsamic and honey just before serving to keep salad fresh. Burrata should be fresh and creamy; use within a day or two of purchase. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with vegan mozzarella or creamy cashew cheese. If peaches are out of season, nectarines are a good substitute.
