A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a tangy-sweet balsamic honey glaze. Perfect for unexpected guests or a fresh, light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons raw or wildflower honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens or arugula (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  2. Wash and halve the peaches, removing pits. Brush cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Grill peaches cut side down for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften but hold shape.
  4. While peaches grill, combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until honey dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss mixed greens with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves.
  6. Arrange dressed greens on a serving platter. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and arrange over greens.
  7. Tear or slice burrata and distribute over the salad.
  8. Drizzle balsamic honey glaze generously over the salad. Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling to soften. Watch peaches carefully while grilling to avoid burning. The balsamic honey glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; warm slightly before use. For vegan version, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
