Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil, perfect for light meals and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz / 225g)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or glaze
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Slice each peach in half and gently remove the pit. Cut each half into 3-4 thick wedges (about 1/2 inch thick).
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Lightly brush grill surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill peach wedges skin side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften. Flip and grill the other side for 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  4. While peaches grill, pluck fresh basil leaves and roughly tear them. Optionally toss arugula or baby spinach with a drizzle of olive oil and salt in a mixing bowl.
  5. Arrange grilled peach wedges on serving plate or greens. Tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter over peaches. Sprinkle fresh basil on top.
  6. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or glaze evenly over salad. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add toasted pine nuts or walnuts if desired.
  7. Let salad sit for a minute to let flavors mingle and burrata soften slightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Lightly oil peaches before grilling to prevent sticking. Tear burrata by hand to preserve texture. Add basil just before serving to keep flavor bright. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor if using. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or dairy-free cheese alternatives.
