A light and satisfying summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and fresh basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze and olive oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 (8-ounce) ball of burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 204°C).
  2. Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill or pan. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. Remove the peaches from heat and let them cool for 5 minutes.
  6. Tear the burrata into chunks or leave whole and place over or alongside the peaches.
  7. Scatter torn basil leaves generously over the salad.
  8. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top for added texture.
  10. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent mushiness. Add burrata last to keep its creamy texture. Warm balsamic glaze slightly if thickened. Best served fresh and slightly warm or at room temperature. Leftover grilled peaches can be stored up to 2 days; add burrata and basil fresh when serving again.
