A refreshing and indulgent summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a sweet-tangy honey balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick meals or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup (85 grams) honey, preferably raw or wildflower
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (30 grams) toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches. Cut each in half and remove the pit. Slice each half into 3-4 wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine honey and balsamic vinegar. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush grates or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Brush peach slices lightly with olive oil. Grill cut side down for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches are warmed but still firm.
  5. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter. Tear burrata into pieces and scatter over peaches.
  6. Drizzle honey balsamic glaze generously over the salad. Add torn basil leaves and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is cool and creamy.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent mushiness on the grill. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for best flavor. If glaze is too runny, simmer a few more minutes off heat to thicken. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute burrata with vegan cashew cheese and honey with maple syrup.
