Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium fresh peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
- Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Quarter if large. Brush each cut side lightly with olive oil.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
- While peaches grill, toss arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Arrange the greens on a serving dish. Tear the burrata into chunks or leave whole and scatter over the salad.
- Place the grilled peaches over the greens and burrata once slightly cooled.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze and honey (if using) over the salad. Scatter torn basil leaves and toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds on top.
- Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches or grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Handle burrata gently to keep the creamy center intact. For a dairy-free option, substitute burrata with avocado or vegan cheese. Refrigerate greens before assembling for a chilled salad, but add burrata and peaches just before serving.
