Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 (8-ounce) ball of burrata cheese, drained and torn into chunks
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic reduction by pouring ½ cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until thickened and syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush peaches lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Grill peach halves cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
  5. Slice grilled peaches into wedges or large slices. Tear burrata into chunks.
  6. Arrange greens on serving platter or plates, top with peach slices and burrata pieces.
  7. Scatter torn basil leaves and toasted pine nuts or almonds over salad.
  8. Drizzle cooled balsamic reduction generously over the salad before serving.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Simmer balsamic vinegar gently to avoid burning and achieve a syrupy glaze. Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for best creaminess. Serve salad immediately for best flavor contrast. Balsamic reduction can be stored in the fridge up to one week and reheated gently before use.
