Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and fresh basil, drizzled with a honey-lemon dressing. Perfect for light meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn or roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Coarse sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
  • Optional: aged balsamic vinegar for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut each in half and remove the pit carefully with a paring knife. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches soften slightly.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes to warm through and add smoky flavor.
  5. While peaches grill, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, honey, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  6. Arrange the grilled peaches on a serving platter, cut side up. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the peaches.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, letting it pool around the fruit and cheese.
  8. Sprinkle torn basil leaves on top. Add extra black pepper and sea salt if needed.
  9. Optional: sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts and drizzle aged balsamic vinegar for added texture and flavor.

Notes

Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to hold up on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata fresh and peaches from getting soggy. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or dairy-free cheese alternatives. If no grill is available, broil peaches in the oven or sauté in a skillet.
