Print Recipe

A fresh and flavorful salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a tangy balsamic reduction, perfect for summer entertaining or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ¼ cup toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic reduction by pouring ½ cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey into a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly oil the grates or pan using a paper towel dipped in olive oil and tongs.
  3. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. Slice each half into 3-4 wedges of uniform thickness.
  4. Grill the peach slices skin-side down for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften but hold their shape.
  5. While peaches grill, gently tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  6. Arrange baby arugula or mixed greens on a large platter or individual plates. Layer grilled peaches over the greens and scatter torn burrata pieces on top.
  7. Sprinkle torn basil leaves and toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds over the salad.
  8. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil lightly over the salad, then spoon the balsamic reduction on top. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Let the salad sit for a couple of minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Add the balsamic reduction just before serving to keep the greens fresh and the glaze glossy. If the reduction becomes too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or ricotta salata, and for a dairy-free option, use vegan cheese or creamy avocado slices.
