Print Recipe

A fresh and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, peppery arugula, and a sweet tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for backyard BBQs or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 medium fresh peaches (ripe but firm)
  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese
  • 4 cups (120 g) arugula or mixed greens
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Slice each half into 3-4 thick wedges (about 1/2 inch thick). Brush each wedge lightly with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Place peach wedges cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold their shape. Flip and grill the other side for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, rinse and dry arugula or mixed greens. Toss gently with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and cracked black pepper. Set aside on serving platter.
  5. If making homemade balsamic glaze, simmer 1/2 cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon honey in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and reduced by half (about 10-15 minutes). Let cool slightly. If using store-bought, shake well.
  6. Place warm grilled peaches over the bed of greens. Tear or scoop burrata cheese into chunks and distribute across the peaches and greens.
  7. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the salad. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves and toasted pine nuts (if using) on top.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil instead of oiling the grill to prevent sticking. Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Let peaches rest briefly after grilling to redistribute juices. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the grill. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with creamy almond-based cheese or ripe avocado slices.
