A quick and easy summer salad featuring caramelized grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a bright basil-balsamic drizzle. Perfect for casual gatherings or elegant dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice them in half and remove the pits carefully with a spoon or paring knife. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly but still holds its shape.
  4. While the peaches grill, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, and the remaining olive oil in a bowl. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste. For a thicker glaze, simmer balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat for 5-7 minutes until reduced and syrupy, then whisk in honey and oil off heat.
  5. On a large serving platter, arrange the grilled peaches. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the peaches. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top.
  6. Pour the basil balsamic dressing evenly over the salad. Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add optional toasted nuts for extra crunch.
  7. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Choose peaches that are just ripe or slightly firm to avoid mushiness. Lightly oil peaches to prevent sticking and get good grill marks. Allow burrata to come to room temperature for best creaminess. If you prefer a thicker balsamic glaze, reduce it by simmering before mixing with honey and oil. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
