Print Recipe

A simple, fresh, and delicious summer salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick meals and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata, room temperature
  • About 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3–4 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the peaches, then slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (preheat about 5 minutes).
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften but still hold their shape. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side just to warm through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. If making balsamic glaze, simmer 1 cup balsamic vinegar with 2 tablespoons brown sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and syrupy (about 10-15 minutes). Let cool.
  5. On a large serving platter, arrange grilled peach halves cut side up. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the peaches. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves around and over the top.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Add toasted pine nuts or walnuts if using, for added texture and nuttiness.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are still slightly warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before assembling for best creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving to keep textures fresh. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with avocado or marinated tofu and use maple syrup in balsamic glaze.
