Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
- 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh basil leaves or chopped toasted pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Rinse, halve, and pit the peaches. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches are slightly softened.
- Flip and grill the rounded side for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and tender but not mushy.
- While peaches grill, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Place arugula in a large bowl and toss lightly with half the dressing.
- Arrange the dressed arugula on a serving plate or bowl. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
- Place the warm grilled peach halves on top of the burrata and arugula.
- Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad.
- Optionally, sprinkle fresh basil leaves or toasted pistachios for garnish.
Notes
Let burrata sit out for 10 minutes before assembling to enhance creaminess. Oil grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. Toss arugula with half the dressing first to avoid sogginess. If no grill is available, roast peaches in a 425°F oven for 10 minutes or cook in a hot skillet with olive oil.
