Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm but ripe fresh peaches (freestone preferred)
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, or baby kale)
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup as a substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil for brushing peaches

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
  2. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into 3-4 thick slices (about 1/2 inch thick).
  3. Brush the peach slices lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelization.
  4. Place the peach slices on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften.
  5. While peaches grill, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, and extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl until smooth and glossy. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste.
  6. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Arrange the greens on a serving platter or individual plates.
  8. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  9. Add the grilled peach slices evenly over the salad.
  10. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves on top.
  11. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts over the salad.
  12. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing generously over the salad.
  13. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm peaches and cool burrata.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to enhance creaminess. Watch peaches carefully while grilling to avoid burning. Lightly toast pine nuts in a dry skillet for added aroma and crunch. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with creamy cashew cheese. Drizzle dressing fresh before serving to keep brightness.
