Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, and a light honey-lemon dressing. Perfect for warm evenings and casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz / 225g)
  • 4 cups arugula (about 120g), washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or wildflower)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a handful of toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse peaches and cut in half, removing the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften but remain intact.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Avoid overcooking to prevent mushiness.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. On a large serving plate or bowl, layer the arugula. Tear or slice the burrata and scatter over the greens.
  7. Arrange the grilled peaches on top of the salad.
  8. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Finish with an extra pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts for added crunch.
  10. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy texture. Dry arugula thoroughly to prevent sogginess. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Burrata can be replaced with vegan cheese or soft tofu for dairy-free version. Optional nuts add crunch but can be omitted for nut-free diet.
