A light and indulgent summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, peppery greens, and fresh herbs, perfect for quick and easy meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed baby greens
  • A handful of basil or mint leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon high-quality balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds or pistachios (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then halve and remove the pits. Lightly coat the cut sides with olive oil and honey if using, then season with sea salt.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, toss arugula or mixed greens with torn basil or mint leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently.
  5. On a serving platter, spread the dressed greens as a base. Arrange grilled peach halves on top, cut side up.
  6. Tear the burrata into chunks or keep whole and place on the salad. Sprinkle toasted nuts over the salad if using.
  7. Drizzle a little more olive oil and balsamic glaze if desired. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches lightly with olive oil and honey for caramelization. Handle burrata gently and add it last to preserve its creamy texture. Prepare dressing and greens while grill heats to save time. Store components separately if making ahead and assemble just before serving.
