Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad with Basil

Indulge in the delightful combination of sweet, smoky grilled peaches and creamy burrata cheese, nestled atop a bed of fresh mixed greens and fragrant basil. This vibrant summer salad not only tantalizes your taste buds but also showcases the best of seasonal produce. Originating from Italy, burrata is a fresh cheese that adds a luxurious creaminess, while the grilled peaches bring a warm, caramelized sweetness that perfectly balances the dish. Perfect for a light lunch or as a refreshing side at your summer gatherings!

Serves 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
Fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup, torn
Burrata cheese
8 ounces, torn into pieces
Balsamic glaze
2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the peach halves with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the peaches soften slightly.
  4. Remove the peaches from the grill and allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing them into wedges.
  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!

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider marinating the peach halves in a mixture of olive oil, honey, and a splash of balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella if unavailable, though the creaminess of burrata is highly recommended.
