Description
A fresh and light salad featuring sweet, smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh greens, and a tangy dressing, ready in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 oz (225g) burrata cheese
- 4 cups (about 120g) mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, spring mix)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A handful of fresh basil, torn
- Optional: 1/4 cup (30g) toasted nuts (pistachios or walnuts)
Instructions
- Wash peaches, slice in half, and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place peaches cut side down on grill. Cook for about 3 minutes without moving to form grill marks.
- Flip peaches carefully and grill skin side for another 1-2 minutes until warm and caramelized but still firm.
- While peaches grill, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- In a large bowl or serving plate, toss mixed greens with half the dressing.
- Arrange grilled peaches on top, tear burrata into chunks and scatter over salad.
- Drizzle remaining dressing over salad, sprinkle with torn basil and toasted nuts if using.
- Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.
Notes
Use slightly underripe peaches for better grilling texture. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization. Tear burrata by hand for best texture. Add nuts or herbs for extra flavor and texture. For vegan version, omit burrata and use avocado or marinated tofu, and replace honey with maple syrup.
