A quick and easy salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a honey-lemon dressing. Perfect for savoring the last taste of summer with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced into halves or quarters
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (one ball)
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the peaches, then slice into halves or quarters, removing the pits. Brush each piece lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach slices cut side down on the grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill the other side for another 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. If using greens, spread arugula or mixed greens evenly on a serving platter.
  6. Arrange the warm grilled peaches over the greens or directly on the plate if not using greens.
  7. Tear the burrata into chunks or slices and scatter over the peaches. Ensure burrata is at room temperature for best texture.
  8. Add torn basil leaves evenly over the salad. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Whisk together honey, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil, then drizzle gently over the salad.
  10. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle and burrata to soften slightly.

Notes

If peaches are too soft to grill, sear quickly in a hot pan instead. Burrata should be at room temperature for best melting texture. Avoid overdressing; a little honey and lemon go a long way. Grill peaches just before serving for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with creamy avocado or nut-based cheese. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and patted dry.
