Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh greens, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for warm days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, torn into chunks
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar (to reduce into glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour ½ cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat and cool.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan.
  3. Rinse and halve peaches, removing pits. Brush each half with olive oil.
  4. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and cool slightly.
  5. Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread greens on serving platter or plates.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over greens. Arrange grilled peaches on top.
  8. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over salad along with toasted pine nuts if using.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
  10. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool burrata.

Notes

Use firm peaches for grilling to prevent mushiness. Lightly oil peaches before grilling to avoid sticking. Prepare balsamic glaze slowly to develop deep flavor. Assemble salad just before serving to keep greens crisp and burrata fresh. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with avocado or nut-based cheese.
