A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata cheese and a subtle honey-lemon drizzle, perfect for warm-weather entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C), for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Rinse and halve the peaches, removing the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with extra-virgin olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side just to warm through.
  5. In a small bowl, mix honey with lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt to prepare the dressing.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter. Tear the burrata gently over the top, allowing the creamy center to ooze slightly.
  7. Scatter torn basil leaves over the peaches and burrata. Season with cracked black pepper.
  8. Drizzle the honey-lemon mixture evenly over the salad. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or pistachios if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Oil grill grates and peaches to prevent sticking. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before assembling. The honey drizzle is balanced with lemon juice and salt to avoid overpowering sweetness. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
