Print Recipe

A fresh summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for light, satisfying meals or summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches (about 1 pound / 450 grams), halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) burrata cheese, fresh and room temperature
  • About 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry peaches. Slice in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add honey or maple syrup if desired. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer until thick and syrupy, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Lightly oil grates or pan.
  4. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and flesh softens slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter or bowl. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over peaches. Sprinkle basil leaves on top. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Drizzle balsamic glaze over salad, then add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle toasted nuts if using.
  7. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

If balsamic glaze is too thick after cooling, stir in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen. Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushiness. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella, but burrata offers creamier texture. For dairy-free, use cashew cheese or firm tofu. Grilling adds smoky flavor but broiling or roasting peaches is an alternative.
