A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky-sweet grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh greens, and a tangy balsamic reduction. Perfect for light meals and entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula or mixed baby greens
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn

Instructions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon honey if desired. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 2-3 tablespoons and syrupy, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush peach halves lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill skin-side for 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Place arugula or mixed greens in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently.
  5. Arrange greens on serving platter or plates. Tear grilled peaches into wedges and scatter over greens.
  6. Tear burrata into chunks and nestle among peaches and greens.
  7. Tear basil leaves and sprinkle over salad.
  8. Drizzle cooled balsamic reduction over salad. Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

If balsamic reduction thickens too much after cooling, gently warm it to loosen before drizzling. Best served immediately to enjoy warm peaches with cool burrata and crisp greens. Burrata is delicate; tear by hand rather than slicing. Balsamic reduction can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to one week.
