Print Recipe

A fresh and vibrant summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a tangy balsamic reduction glaze. Perfect for quick, easy, and flavorful summer meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help with caramelization.
  2. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the peaches cut side down and grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold their shape. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. While peaches grill, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan with honey. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally and let it reduce until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Tear or slice the burrata into chunks and arrange on your serving platter. Place the grilled peach halves around and on top of the cheese. Scatter fresh basil leaves over everything.
  5. Drizzle olive oil generously over the salad, followed by a few pinches of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the assembled salad just before serving.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushy grilled fruit. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and help caramelize. Watch the balsamic reduction closely to avoid burning. Tear burrata gently to preserve its creamy texture. Prepare balsamic reduction ahead and refrigerate if desired. For dairy-free options, substitute burrata with vegan cheese or ripe avocado.
