A fresh, tangy, sweet, smoky, and creamy salad featuring grilled peaches, burrata cheese, and a honey balsamic vinaigrette. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick, elegant meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens or baby arugula
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 5 minutes.
  2. Rinse and pat dry the peaches. Slice them in half and remove the pits carefully. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly but still holds shape. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create a smooth emulsion. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. On a large platter or bowl, spread the mixed greens. Tear the burrata into large chunks and nestle them among the greens.
  6. Arrange the grilled peach halves atop the salad, cut side up to show off the grill marks.
  7. Spoon the honey balsamic dressing evenly over the salad, coating the peaches and burrata lightly.
  8. Scatter fresh basil or mint leaves over the top for garnish. Add extra cracked pepper or flaky sea salt if desired.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool burrata.

Notes

Do not overdress the salad to avoid sogginess. Let peaches cool slightly before adding to prevent burrata from melting too much. Use firm but ripe peaches for best grilling results. Burrata should be at room temperature before assembling for creaminess. Vinaigrette can be made up to 2 days ahead and shaken before use.
