A quick and elegant summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet tangy honey balsamic dressing. Perfect for casual lunches or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C), approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Slice peaches in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage browning.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but do not collapse. Flip and grill the skin side for 1-2 minutes just to warm through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread mixed greens evenly on a large bowl or platter. Tear burrata gently over the greens, leaving some larger pieces for texture.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on top of the salad, cut side facing up.
  7. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves and toasted nuts if using. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over everything.
  8. Serve immediately to keep greens crisp and burrata creamy.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, pat dry before grilling to avoid flare-ups. Whisk dressing well for a silky finish. Grill peaches ahead and store refrigerated; add burrata and dressing just before serving. For vegan version, substitute burrata with creamy vegan cheese and honey with maple syrup. If no grill available, broil peaches for 4-5 minutes or use a skillet.
