A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and peppery arugula, perfect for warm-weather meals and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush each peach half with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
  3. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes or until you see nice char marks. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Peaches should be tender but still hold their shape. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.
  5. On a large platter or bowl, lay down the arugula. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and arrange atop the salad.
  6. Drizzle dressing evenly over the salad. Scatter torn basil leaves and toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch. Give a light sprinkle of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately while the peaches are still slightly warm for contrast against the cool burrata.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, gently pat them dry before grilling to avoid sogginess. Do not overcrowd the grill; work in batches for even caramelization. Let burrata come to room temperature before assembling for best texture. Add arugula just before serving to prevent wilting. Store components separately if making ahead and consume burrata within 24 hours.
