Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach), optional
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for crunch
Instructions
- Prepare the balsamic glaze: Pour ½ cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced by half to a syrupy consistency. Set aside to cool.
- Rinse and halve the peaches, removing pits. Brush each peach half lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Grill peaches cut side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Arrange mixed greens on a serving platter or bowl. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over greens. Place grilled peaches on top.
- Sprinkle torn basil leaves and toasted nuts if using.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over salad. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally drizzle extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve immediately to enjoy contrast of warm peaches and cool burrata.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling. Grill peaches just before serving to maintain texture and flavor. Watch balsamic glaze carefully to avoid burning.
