A simple and delicious summer salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a sticky, tangy balsamic honey glaze. Perfect for quick, fresh meals that impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the peaches and slice them in half, removing the pits carefully. Brush each half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir occasionally and let it simmer until it thickens slightly into a syrupy consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the peaches start to soften but aren’t mushy. Flip and grill the skin side for 2 minutes just to warm through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. On a large serving plate or bowl, arrange a bed of arugula or mixed greens if using. Lay the grilled peaches on top. Tear the burrata into chunks and place them gently around the peaches. Scatter torn basil leaves over everything.
  6. Spoon the balsamic honey glaze evenly over the peaches and burrata. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt flakes, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately while the salad is fresh and slightly warm.

Notes

Prepare the balsamic honey glaze and cut peaches ahead of time to save time, but grill peaches just before serving for best flavor. Watch the glaze carefully to avoid burning. Serve salad fresh and warm for optimal texture. Burrata can be substituted with creamy vegan cheese or soft tofu for dairy-free option. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for vegan version.
