A light and memorable salad featuring smoky grilled nectarines, creamy burrata, and a tangy-sweet honey vinaigrette. Perfect for summer entertaining and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm nectarines
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for vinaigrette)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for brushing nectarines)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Handful of fresh basil or mint leaves, torn
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry nectarines. Slice each in half and remove the pit. Cut each half into 2-3 wedges.
  3. Brush each nectarine wedge lightly with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Place nectarines cut side down on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and fruit softens but holds shape.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Arrange grilled nectarines on a serving platter. Tear burrata into pieces and scatter over the fruit.
  7. Tear fresh basil or mint leaves and sprinkle over the salad.
  8. Drizzle the honey vinaigrette evenly over the salad just before serving.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top for added texture.
  10. Serve immediately while nectarines are slightly warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Use ripe but firm nectarines to avoid mushiness. Brush nectarines lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization. Serve burrata at room temperature for best creaminess. Make vinaigrette last minute to keep herbs fresh. Store grilled nectarines and vinaigrette separately from burrata if saving leftovers.
