Print Recipe

A fresh and indulgent summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe fresh peaches, halved and sliced into wedges
  • 8 oz (225 g) creamy burrata cheese, torn into chunks
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml) for dressing
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Slice each half into 3-4 wedges.
  2. Place peach slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  4. Arrange peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until deep grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  5. While peaches grill, tear burrata into chunks and rinse basil leaves, patting dry.
  6. On a serving platter, arrange grilled peach slices. Scatter burrata pieces and fresh basil leaves on top.
  7. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of aged balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  8. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios for added texture.
  10. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to prevent them from becoming mushy on the grill. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. If no grill is available, broil peaches in the oven for 4-5 minutes per side. Optional nuts add crunch and nuttiness. This salad is best served fresh but can be stored separately and assembled before serving.
