Print Recipe

A fresh and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled nectarines paired with creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Perfect for quick meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
  2. Rinse and pat dry nectarines. Cut in half and remove pits carefully.
  3. Lightly brush the cut sides of the nectarines with olive oil.
  4. Place nectarines cut side down on the grill and grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and fruit softens slightly.
  5. Flip nectarines and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until blistered.
  6. Remove nectarines and let cool slightly. Slice into half-moon shapes about 1/2-inch thick.
  7. Arrange grilled nectarine slices on a serving platter.
  8. Tear or slice burrata and scatter over the fruit.
  9. Add fresh basil leaves and halved cherry tomatoes if using.
  10. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or glaze.
  11. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  12. Serve immediately or let rest 10 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill pan, broil nectarines in the oven watching carefully to avoid burning. Burrata is best used fresh the same day. For dairy-free, substitute with creamy cashew cheese or plant-based alternatives. Prepare nectarines and basil in advance but add cheese and dressing just before serving to avoid sogginess.
