A fresh and satisfying summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a tangy honey balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick meals or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) fresh burrata, drained
  • 4 cups (about 120 grams) mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Lightly brush the peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until you see nice char marks and they soften slightly but still hold their shape. Flip and grill the skin side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Let it reduce, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until it thickens to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. On a large platter or salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens and torn basil leaves. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and scatter over the greens.
  5. Tear the burrata into chunks or halves and nestle it among the peaches and greens. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top, followed by the honey balsamic glaze. If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or almonds for a crunchy contrast.
  7. Give the salad a gentle toss or leave it arranged for a more elegant presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm peaches and cool, creamy cheese.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, you can broil the peaches in the oven for 3-4 minutes per side, watching carefully to avoid burning. Use ripe peaches for best sweetness and texture. Toast nuts just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy. Keep an eye on the balsamic glaze while reducing to prevent burning.
