Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained and torn or sliced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduction
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: handful of arugula or mixed greens
- Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts
- Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Rinse peaches and slice in half, removing pits. Lightly brush each half with olive oil.
- Place peach halves skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape.
- Spread fresh basil leaves over a serving platter or bowl. If using greens, toss lightly with olive oil and salt.
- Tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter evenly over basil and greens.
- Arrange warm grilled peaches on and around the burrata, skin side up.
- Drizzle salad with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add lemon juice if desired.
- Top with toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch if using.
- Gently toss or serve as is, balancing colors and textures.
Notes
Choose peaches that are firm but juicy to avoid them falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Add burrata just before serving to maintain creaminess. Use a timer to avoid overcooking peaches. Tearing burrata by hand preserves its texture better than slicing.
