A simple and elegant summer salad featuring caramelized grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a bright basil balsamic vinaigrette. Perfect for warm evenings and easy entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: toasted pine nuts or crushed pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill skin side down for another 2 minutes to warm through. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey (if using), and 1 minced garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. On a large platter or individual plates, arrange grilled peach halves alongside torn burrata cheese. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
  7. Drizzle the basil balsamic vinaigrette evenly over the peaches, burrata, and basil. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or crushed pistachios if desired.
  8. Add a pinch more freshly ground black pepper and a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt to finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook peaches; they should be tender but hold their shape. Use ripe but firm peaches for best caramelization. Handle burrata gently to keep the creamy center intact. Assemble salad just before serving to maintain freshness. Vinaigrette can be made ahead and stored up to one week in the fridge.
