A simple, refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick gatherings or impressing guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) fresh burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  2. Rinse and halve the peaches, removing the pits carefully. Brush each cut side with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to develop grill marks.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. While peaches cool slightly, tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a serving platter or plates.
  6. Scatter fresh basil leaves evenly over the burrata.
  7. Nestle the warm peach halves or slices around and atop the burrata and basil.
  8. Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over everything.
  9. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic glaze over the salad.
  10. Optionally, squeeze 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the salad for brightness.
  11. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle.

Notes

Use firm but juicy peaches for best grilling results. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure even cooking. Burrata should be kept chilled until just before serving to maintain texture. Homemade balsamic glaze can be made by reducing balsamic vinegar with a bit of honey. For a vegan version, substitute burrata with marinated tofu or nut-based cheese and use a balsamic reduction without sweeteners.
