A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and fresh basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C), approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Halve and pit the peaches. Brush the cut sides lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. While peaches grill, toss basil leaves with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a mixing bowl.
  6. Arrange grilled peach halves cut side up on a serving platter.
  7. Tear or slice burrata cheese into chunks and distribute evenly over the peaches.
  8. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the salad.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze across the salad.
  10. Optionally, add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and scatter basil leaves on top just before serving.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and achieve caramelization. Add burrata just before serving to maintain its creamy texture. Use ripe but firm peaches for best grilling results. Leftovers can be stored up to 24 hours; keep burrata separate and add fresh before serving.
