A light and fresh salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and fresh basil, finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Perfect for a quick, impressive summer dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) creamy burrata cheese
  • About 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: handful of arugula or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Wash and halve 3-4 ripe but firm peaches. Remove the pits carefully with a knife or spoon.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to get nice char marks.
  5. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. The peaches should be tender but hold their shape.
  6. Transfer the peaches to a plate and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
  7. Tear the burrata into chunks or slices and arrange on a serving platter.
  8. Nestle the grilled peaches around the burrata cheese.
  9. Scatter torn basil leaves over the peaches and burrata. Add arugula or spinach if using.
  10. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze over everything.
  11. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  12. Optionally, add a few twists of black pepper or a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle kick.
  13. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil instead of oiling the grill. Season with salt and pepper just before serving to keep the salad fresh. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving for best flavor. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or vegan cheese alternatives. If no grill is available, pan-sear peaches in a skillet with butter or olive oil.
