A fresh and easy summer salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and creamy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225g) creamy burrata cheese
  • 1 cup heirloom or cherry tomatoes, halved or sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly but still holds shape. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. While peaches cool, slice heirloom tomatoes into thick rounds or halve cherry tomatoes. Arrange them on a serving platter.
  5. Tear the grilled peaches into bite-sized pieces or leave in halves as preferred. Place burrata in the center or break into chunks over the tomatoes and peaches. Scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
  6. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the salad. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Optional: Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden (about 3-4 minutes) and sprinkle on top.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Avoid overcooking peaches to keep them firm but soft. Use fresh burrata for best creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata fresh and peaches warm. Balsamic glaze can be made ahead by simmering balsamic vinegar until syrupy.
