A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, and a homemade balsamic glaze. Perfect for gatherings or a fancy yet simple side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 (8-ounce) ball fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • ½ cup good quality balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing peaches
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Halve each peach and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks. Flip and grill skin side for 2-3 minutes until softened but still holding shape. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. While peaches grill, pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add honey and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened and syrupy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Place arugula on a large serving platter. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over greens. Arrange grilled peach halves on top. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and scatter basil leaves if using.
  6. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire salad.
  7. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Make the balsamic glaze ahead and store in the fridge for up to a week. Warm slightly before using. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. Assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata fresh and peaches warm.
