Print Recipe

A vibrant and simple summer salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and fresh basil, finished with olive oil and balsamic glaze for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C), about 10 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half, remove pits, and brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold their shape.
  4. Flip peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side. Total grilling time is about 6 minutes.
  5. While peaches grill, toss basil leaves in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
  6. On a serving platter, arrange peach halves, tear burrata into chunks and scatter over peaches, then spoon dressed basil leaves on top.
  7. Drizzle remaining olive oil and balsamic glaze (if using) over the salad. Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy. If needed, let sit for up to 10 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling for best creaminess. Use flaky sea salt like Maldon for texture. If no grill pan is available, a cast-iron skillet can be used but won’t produce grill marks. Assemble and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
