Print Recipe

A light and indulgent summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, and a tangy balsamic reduction glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula leaves, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes until thickened to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 375°F / 190°C). Brush the peach halves lightly with olive oil on the cut side.
  3. Grill the peaches cut-side down for 3-5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2-3 minutes to warm through. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
  4. Arrange arugula on a large platter or individual plates. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  5. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and arrange on top of the salad.
  6. Sprinkle torn basil leaves over the salad. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction.
  7. Season generously with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are slightly warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

If balsamic reduction becomes too thick, stir in a splash of water and gently reheat. Rest peaches after grilling to prevent burrata from melting too quickly. Peaches can be substituted with nectarines or firm plums. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with creamy avocado or cashew cream.
