A stunning yet simple salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a sweet-tangy honey balsamic drizzle. Perfect for summer gatherings or a quick fresh meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (aged for richer flavor)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
  • Optional: squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Gently brush the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage grill marks. (5 minutes)
  2. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but holding shape. Remove and let cool slightly. (8 minutes)
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and balsamic vinegar until smooth and well combined. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste. (3 minutes)
  4. On a serving platter, lay down the mixed greens. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens and grilled peaches. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over everything. Finish with torn basil leaves, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. (5 minutes)
  5. Optional: Lightly toast nuts in a dry skillet until fragrant (2-3 minutes) and sprinkle on top for added texture. (4 minutes)

Notes

Do not skip brushing peaches with olive oil to avoid sticking. Use room temperature burrata for best creaminess. Watch peaches carefully to avoid burning. Dressing can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with plant-based creamy cheese or ripe avocado. Peaches can be swapped with nectarines or plums if out of season.
