A perfect summer salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a tangy-sweet balsamic reduction for a fresh and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 large ball or 2 small balls of burrata cheese
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for brushing peaches and dressing greens)
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Toasted nuts such as sliced almonds or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic reduction: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce until syrupy, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place peaches cut-side down and grill 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill skin side 1-2 minutes to warm through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, toss arugula or mixed greens with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Arrange dressed greens on serving platter or plates. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over greens. Arrange grilled peach halves on top.
  6. Drizzle balsamic reduction generously over salad. Scatter fresh basil leaves and toasted nuts if using. Add final sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy burrata and warm peaches.

Notes

Make the balsamic reduction a day ahead and refrigerate. Use a cast iron grill pan if cooking indoors. Watch peaches closely to avoid burning. Tear burrata just before serving to keep it creamy. Store salad components separately if saving leftovers.
