Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, drained
- 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: handful of toasted pine nuts or walnuts
- Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
- Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush each half lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
- Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side.
- While peaches grill, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently, stirring until honey dissolves and mixture thickens slightly (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Arrange baby arugula or mixed greens in a large bowl or platter. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss gently if desired.
- Place warm grilled peach halves over the greens, cut side up.
- Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad.
- Drizzle the balsamic honey reduction over the salad. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add toasted nuts and fresh basil leaves if using.
- Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft and creamy.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Let the balsamic honey drizzle cool to thicken before drizzling. Brushing peaches with olive oil prevents sticking and flare-ups. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or cashew cheese for vegan option. Store components separately if prepping ahead.
