Grilled Peach Burrata Honey Salad (Printer-friendly)

Grilled peaches, burrata, greens, basil, and honey combine for a fresh and flavorful summer salad.

# What You'll Need:

→ Produce

01 - 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
02 - 4 cups arugula or mixed baby greens
03 - 1 small handful fresh basil leaves

→ Dairy

04 - 2 balls fresh burrata cheese (about 7 ounces total)

→ Pantry

05 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
06 - 2 tablespoons honey
07 - 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
08 - Flaky sea salt, to taste
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the peach halves lightly with olive oil.
02 - Place the peaches cut-side down onto the hot grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until charred and softened. Remove from grill and let rest briefly, then slice each half into wedges.
03 - Arrange the arugula or mixed greens evenly over a large serving platter.
04 - Distribute the grilled peach slices over the greens. Tear the burrata cheese and nestle the pieces among the peaches.
05 - Scatter the fresh basil leaves on top, then drizzle with honey and balsamic glaze.
06 - Drizzle with additional olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • This salad feels like a secret shortcut to impressing guests at any summer dinner.
  • The contrast of warm, caramelized fruit and cool, creamy cheese is pure magic on a plate.
02 -
  • I once learned the hard way that grilling unripe peaches turns them rubbery—always wait until they're just ripe.
  • Letting the burrata sit at room temperature before tearing makes it so much silkier and easier to distribute across the salad.
03 -
  • Grill a couple extra peaches because a few always end up as irresistible ‘chef snacks’ before serving.
  • A finishing sprinkle of flaky salt right at the table makes the flavors explode in the best way.
