A fresh and elegant summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a balsamic reduction drizzle. Perfect for quick, light meals or festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) ball of burrata cheese
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction or glaze
  • Sea salt, a pinch or two (preferably flaky)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375–400°F / 190–205°C), about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry peaches, then cut in half and remove pits carefully. Brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. If making balsamic reduction, simmer 1/4 cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until thick and syrupy, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches cut side up on a serving platter. Tear or slice burrata into chunks and scatter over peaches.
  7. Distribute fresh basil leaves evenly over the salad.
  8. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction over the salad.
  9. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Add toasted pine nuts or almonds if using.
  11. Serve immediately or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

Let burrata rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to enhance creaminess. Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Oil the grill and peaches to avoid sticking and encourage caramelization. If no grill is available, broil peaches in the oven for 4-5 minutes or pan-sear in a hot skillet with olive oil. Assemble salad just before serving for best texture and flavor.
