Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring sweet grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds or pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil using a basting brush.
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  5. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  6. Remove peaches and let cool for a few minutes until warm but not hot.
  7. Tear or slice burrata and arrange on a serving platter.
  8. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and layer around or on top of the burrata.
  9. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the peaches and burrata.
  10. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and additional olive oil if desired.
  11. Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and fresh lemon juice.
  12. Optionally, sprinkle toasted almonds or pine nuts for added crunch.
  13. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use firm peaches for grilling to prevent mushiness. Preheat and clean the grill well to get perfect char marks. Tear burrata by hand to preserve its creamy texture. Peaches can be grilled ahead and assembled just before serving. Substitute nectarines or plums for peaches, and vegan cheese or avocado for burrata for dairy-free options.
