A fresh and flavorful salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, mixed greens, and a sweet-tart honey balsamic dressing. Perfect for quick summer meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed baby arugula and spinach greens
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches are tender but not mushy. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes to warm through.
  4. While peaches grill, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
  5. In a large bowl or platter, arrange the mixed greens. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  6. Nestle the warm grilled peaches on top of the salad to slightly soften the burrata.
  7. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over the salad. Gently toss with tongs to coat without breaking up the burrata too much.
  8. Garnish with torn fresh basil leaves and toasted nuts if using.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Let burrata come to room temperature before assembling for best creaminess. Avoid over-tossing to keep burrata chunks intact. Store leftover grilled peaches and burrata separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Reheat peaches gently before reuse.
