Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
- 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the peaches, then slice each in half and remove the pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and help with caramelization.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the peaches soften but still hold their shape. Flip carefully with tongs.
- While the peaches are grilling, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- In a large bowl, add the arugula and drizzle half of the dressing over it. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Arrange the dressed arugula on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter it over the greens. Place the warm grilled peaches on top, cut side up.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire salad, then sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves. Add a final pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately while the burrata is creamy and the peaches are still warm.
Notes
If peaches are very ripe, grill for less time to avoid mushiness. Tear burrata gently and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Assemble salad just before serving to keep arugula fresh and burrata creamy. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with avocado or vegan cheese. Toasted nuts add a nice crunch.
