Print Recipe

A fresh and flavorful summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and fragrant basil, finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225 g) creamy burrata cheese
  • 1 cup (25 g) fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) balsamic glaze or reduction
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry peaches. Slice each in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C). Clean and oil grates.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches soften but hold shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Total grilling time about 6-7 minutes.
  5. On a large platter or bowl, tear or slice burrata into pieces. Scatter fresh basil leaves around the cheese.
  6. Arrange warm grilled peaches over and around burrata and basil.
  7. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil evenly over salad.
  9. Lightly drizzle 1-2 tablespoons balsamic glaze over everything.
  10. Optional: squeeze fresh lemon juice over salad to brighten flavors.
  11. Serve immediately, best fresh and slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Choose peaches that are firm but ripe to hold up on the grill. Oil grill grates and peaches to prevent sticking. Grill peaches last if preparing multiple dishes to serve fresh and warm. Burrata should be kept chilled until assembly for best contrast with warm peaches. Balsamic glaze adds essential tangy sweetness—don’t skip it. Can substitute fresh mozzarella or plant-based cheese if burrata is unavailable. Grilled nectarines or plums can be used instead of peaches.
