A quick and easy summer salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a sweet honey balsamic glaze, perfect for entertaining and surprising even skeptical eaters.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve 4 ripe peaches. Remove the pits carefully. Brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons honey. Simmer gently over low heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups mixed greens with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Arrange the greens on a serving platter.
  6. Cut grilled peaches into quarters if desired. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens and peaches. Drizzle the salad evenly with the honey balsamic glaze.
  7. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves and toasted nuts (optional) on top. Add an extra pinch of black pepper if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are still slightly warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

If peaches aren’t in season, nectarines can be used as a substitute. For a dairy-free version, replace burrata with cashew cheese or omit it. Toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes to enhance flavor. Use low heat when reducing the glaze to avoid burning. Assemble salad just before serving to keep greens fresh.
