Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Perfect for light meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese, drained and torn into chunks
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5-7 minutes). If using charcoal, wait until coals are glowing red with a light layer of ash.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice each in half and remove the pit. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks, then flip and grill for another 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  4. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter, cut side up. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over and around the peaches. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice.
  5. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil evenly over the salad, followed by balsamic glaze. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is cool and creamy.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. Drain burrata well before assembling to avoid sogginess. Assemble just before serving to maintain texture contrast. Can substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or a cashew-based cheese for vegan option. If no grill available, roast peaches in a 425°F oven for 8-10 minutes with olive oil.
