Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained and roughly torn
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
- Rinse and dry peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and surface caramelizes.
- Flip peaches and grill skin side for another 2 minutes until warm and slightly softened but still holding shape.
- While peaches grill, toast pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat immediately.
- Tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly on a serving platter. Scatter torn basil leaves over the cheese.
- Arrange warm grilled peach halves on top of burrata and basil.
- Drizzle olive oil over the salad, add balsamic glaze if using, then season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle toasted pine nuts generously over the salad.
- Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
Watch peaches closely on the grill to avoid mushiness or burning. Use tongs to flip peaches gently. Tear burrata by hand to preserve creamy texture. Toast pine nuts on low heat and stir frequently to prevent burning. Serve salad fresh at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
