Print Recipe

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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or vinegar
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: a handful of toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/204°C), about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Wash and halve 4 ripe peaches, removing the pits carefully. Pat dry to avoid steaming on the grill.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with about 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  5. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning; peaches should be tender but hold their shape.
  6. While peaches grill, tear 1 cup of fresh basil leaves into a medium bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Arrange grilled peach halves on a serving platter, cut side up. Tear the burrata into chunks and distribute evenly over the peaches.
  8. Scatter the dressed basil leaves across the salad. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or vinegar.
  9. Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on top. Add toasted pine nuts or walnuts if using.
  10. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to let flavors mingle but do not wait too long to preserve burrata creaminess.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness on the grill. Tear burrata by hand to preserve its creamy texture. Grill peaches just before serving to keep them warm and fresh. Optional nuts add crunch but can be omitted for nut-free diets.
