A fresh, light, and satisfying summer salad featuring sweet smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata cheese and a tangy balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted
  • 1 large ball burrata cheese (or 2 smaller balls)
  • About a handful fresh basil leaves, torn or roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: small handful toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Rinse, halve, and pit the peaches. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip peaches carefully and grill for another 2 minutes until tender but holding shape.
  5. On a serving platter, tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and spread out.
  6. Nestle grilled peach halves around the burrata.
  7. Scatter torn basil leaves over the peaches and burrata.
  8. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Drizzle remaining olive oil evenly over the salad, then drizzle balsamic glaze for a glossy finish.
  10. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushy texture. Burrata should be served at room temperature for best creaminess. If making balsamic glaze at home, simmer 1 cup balsamic vinegar until reduced by half (10-15 minutes). Store-bought glaze works fine. For vegan version, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese and balsamic glaze with maple reduction.
