Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Peaches (4, halved and pitted)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons, plus more for grilling)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Mixed greens (4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and torn basil leaves.
  6. Tear the burrata cheese into small pieces and gently add it to the bowl with the greens.
  7. Add the sliced grilled peaches to the salad.
  8. Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze and a splash of extra virgin olive oil.
  9. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients, being careful not to break the burrata too much.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired, and enjoy the harmony of flavors!
