Print Recipe

A fresh, bright, and surprisingly filling salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a sweet-tangy honey vinaigrette. Perfect for summer gatherings or a quick, impressive meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 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 your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  2. Rinse and pat dry the peaches, slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side to warm through.
  4. While peaches grill, whisk together honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the vinaigrette. Adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
  5. Rinse and dry the salad greens thoroughly and place them on a serving platter or bowl.
  6. Arrange the warm grilled peaches over the greens. Tear the burrata into chunks and distribute evenly over the salad. Scatter torn basil leaves and toasted nuts if using.
  7. Drizzle the honey vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently if desired or leave arranged for presentation.
  8. Add a few cracks of fresh black pepper and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.

Notes

Let burrata sit out for 10 minutes before assembling for creaminess. Pat peaches dry if extra juicy to avoid flare-ups. If no grill, use broiler or hot cast iron skillet carefully. Serve immediately for best contrast of warm peaches and cool cheese. Dressing can be shaken if it separates.
