A fresh and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a tangy-sweet homemade balsamic reduction. Perfect for light dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 4 cups (about 120 grams) mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic reduction: Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Prep the peaches: Rinse and dry peaches. Cut in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill the peaches: Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Place peaches cut side down and grill 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill skin side 2-3 minutes. Remove and let cool briefly.
  4. Assemble the salad: Arrange mixed greens on a large platter or bowl. Scatter torn basil leaves over greens. Place grilled peach halves cut side up on top.
  5. Add burrata and season: Tear burrata into chunks and distribute evenly over peaches and greens. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Finish with balsamic reduction: Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the entire salad.

Notes

Prepare balsamic reduction ahead and store in fridge for up to a week. Reheat gently before use. Let peaches come to room temperature before grilling for best flavor and texture. If no grill, roast peaches in oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes. Avoid overcrowding grill to get good caramelization.
