A refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, peppery arugula, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick, easy, and satisfying meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh
  • 4 cups arugula, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
  2. Rinse and dry peaches, slice each in half and remove the pit. Lightly brush cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  4. Flip peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side until warm and caramelized but still holding shape.
  5. While peaches grill, toss arugula in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves.
  6. Arrange dressed arugula on a serving platter. Place grilled peaches on top, skin side down.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over peaches and greens.
  8. Drizzle 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze evenly over the salad. Add honey if desired for extra sweetness.
  9. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts on top for crunch.
  10. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use firm peaches to hold shape on the grill. If balsamic glaze is too thick, warm gently before drizzling. Burrata should be added after grilling to maintain creamy texture. For vegan version, substitute burrata with nut-based cheese or marinated tofu. Store components separately if making ahead.
