A simple yet elegant salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh greens, and a tangy homemade balsamic reduction. Perfect for summer gatherings or a light, refreshing meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups (120 grams) mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ cup (30 grams) toasted walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Wash peaches and slice in half, removing pits. Brush each half lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place peach halves cut side down and grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Peaches should be tender but not mushy.
  4. In a mixing bowl, toss mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Tear in fresh basil leaves and mix gently.
  5. Arrange dressed greens on a serving plate. Place grilled peaches on top. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over peaches and greens. Sprinkle toasted nuts if using.
  6. Drizzle cooled balsamic reduction generously over the salad.
  7. Add extra cracked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling for best texture. Watch balsamic reduction closely to avoid burning. If no grill is available, pan-sear peaches or use a broiler carefully. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or avocado for dairy-free option. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 1 day; reheat peaches gently and add fresh burrata before serving.
