Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces (about 225 grams) burrata cheese, torn or sliced
- 4 cups (about 120 grams) mixed greens (baby arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
- Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Quarter if large. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to form grill marks.
- Flip peaches carefully and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
- While peaches grill, toss mixed greens and basil in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- If making homemade balsamic glaze, simmer ½ cup balsamic vinegar over medium heat until reduced by half and syrupy (10-12 minutes). Let cool.
- Arrange dressed greens on a serving platter. Place grilled peaches on top evenly.
- Tear or slice burrata and scatter over peaches and greens.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the salad. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add toasted nuts if using for extra crunch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool burrata.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Lightly oil peaches before grilling to prevent sticking. Add burrata and balsamic glaze just before serving to preserve texture. Toast nuts separately for best crunch. If grilling indoors, a cast-iron grill pan works well. Avoid overcrowding the grill pan.
