Print Recipe

A light and refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and crunchy pine nuts, dressed with olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 cups arugula or baby greens
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
  2. Rinse and dry peaches. Cut in half and remove pits. Quarter if large. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill 3-4 minutes until golden-brown grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes.
  4. While peaches grill, toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove immediately to avoid burning.
  5. Tear burrata into bite-sized pieces and place on serving platter or bowl. If using greens, arrange them first then add burrata on top.
  6. Arrange warm grilled peaches around and on top of burrata. Scatter toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves over the salad.
  7. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic glaze, and lemon juice. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Optionally, drizzle honey for extra sweetness.
  8. Gently toss the salad or serve as is for a rustic presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness on the grill. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Toast pine nuts carefully to avoid burning. Tear burrata gently by hand to preserve texture. Serve immediately for best contrast of warm peaches and cool cheese. Can substitute nectarines for peaches if out of season. For vegan version, use cashew cheese or marinated tofu and maple syrup instead of honey.
