A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata cheese and drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for warm weather meals and outdoor dining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 large ball burrata cheese (about 8 oz / 225 g), room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or chiffonade
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze, store-bought or homemade
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a few twists
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill skin side for 1-2 minutes to warm through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. On a large platter or bowl, tear burrata into large chunks or slices and place in the center.
  6. Surround burrata with grilled peach halves, skin side down to show caramelized side.
  7. Scatter torn basil leaves over peaches and burrata.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salad.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the salad.
  10. Optionally, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top for crunch.
  11. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool burrata.

Notes

Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for best creaminess. Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. If peaches are very ripe, grill gently to avoid mushiness. Homemade balsamic glaze can be made by simmering balsamic vinegar with honey or brown sugar until syrupy. Serve salad immediately for best texture and flavor contrast.
