Print Recipe

A fresh and light salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a tangy-sweet balsamic reduction, perfect for summer gatherings or quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 balls (about 8 ounces/225 grams total) fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 4 cups (about 120 grams) arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic reduction: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey into a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Brush peach halves lightly with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  3. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks. Flip and grill an additional 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  4. If using greens, toss arugula or mixed greens lightly with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil in a mixing bowl.
  5. Arrange greens (if using) on a serving platter or individual plates. Place grilled peach halves on top.
  6. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the peaches.
  7. Drizzle the cooled balsamic reduction over the salad.
  8. Garnish with torn fresh basil leaves, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make the balsamic reduction a day ahead to save time; store leftovers separately and reheat peaches gently. Use fresh peaches for best results. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella but will be less creamy. Avoid overcrowding the grill for even cooking and good char marks.
