A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a honey-lemon dressing. Perfect for impressing guests with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted
  • 1 ball (8 ounces) burrata cheese, drained and at room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a handful of arugula or mixed greens

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits carefully. Leave the skin on.
  3. Lightly brush peach halves with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  5. Flip peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side.
  6. Transfer grilled peaches to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. If using greens, toss arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread on a serving platter.
  8. Tear the burrata gently into chunks and scatter over the greens or directly on the plate if skipping greens.
  9. Arrange the warm peach halves around and on top of the burrata.
  10. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle liberally over the salad.
  11. Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a small bowl and drizzle evenly over the salad.
  12. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature while grilling peaches for best creaminess. Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushiness. If no grill is available, use a broiler but watch closely to prevent burning. Dressing can be drizzled just before serving to keep greens crisp.
