Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a perfect balance of smoky sweetness and fresh flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or julienned
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Using a sharp knife, carefully halve each peach and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, hot enough to get good char marks but not so hot that the peaches burn immediately.
  3. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften. Flip carefully and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  4. While the peaches grill, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice (if using) in a small bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust acidity or sweetness as desired.
  5. Arrange the grilled peach halves on a serving platter, cut side up. Tear the burrata into rustic chunks and scatter over and around the peaches. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top.
  6. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Finish with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt and extra black pepper.
  7. Let the salad rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle and burrata to soften slightly.

Notes

If short on time, grill peaches ahead and serve at room temperature. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure perfect caramelization. Use tongs gently to keep peaches intact. Tear burrata instead of slicing for better texture. Basil should be added just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
