Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 4 cups mixed baby arugula and spinach
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Wash and halve the peaches, removing pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes.
- While peaches grill, toss mixed greens with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves in a mixing bowl.
- Tear burrata cheese gently into large chunks and set aside.
- On a serving platter, spread the dressed greens as a base. Arrange grilled peach halves over the greens and nestle burrata chunks between the fruit.
- Sprinkle toasted nuts over the top if using. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and honey if desired.
- Season with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to avoid sticking. Handle burrata gently to preserve its creamy texture. If balsamic glaze is not available, reduce balsamic vinegar by simmering until syrupy. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
