Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups baby arugula or spring mix
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
  5. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice. Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat and cool.
  6. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with olive oil, salt, pepper, and torn basil leaves if using.
  7. Arrange the dressed greens on a serving platter or individual plates.
  8. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and place over the greens.
  9. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad.
  10. Drizzle the honey-balsamic glaze generously over the salad.
  11. Sprinkle toasted nuts if using, and season with extra black pepper or flaky sea salt if desired.
  12. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is fresh.

Notes

Use peaches that are ripe but firm to hold shape on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Watch the glaze carefully to avoid burning; stir frequently. Tear burrata gently by hand to preserve creaminess. Serve salad immediately for best texture and flavor. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with cashew cheese or avocado. Nuts can be omitted or replaced with seeds for nut-free version.
