Fresh Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad - featured image

A quick and easy summer salad featuring caramelized grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, fresh basil, and a honey-lemon dressing. Perfect for BBQs, brunch, or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) burrata cheese
  • 1520 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 205°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Trim the rounded side slightly if needed to lay flat on the grill.
  3. Lightly oil the peaches with a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized with grill marks but still tender.
  5. While peaches grill, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter, cut side up.
  7. Gently tear burrata into chunks and place over the peaches.
  8. Scatter fresh basil leaves evenly over the salad.
  9. Drizzle the honey-lemon-olive oil mixture over everything.
  10. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use medium-high heat to get caramelized peaches without burning. Flip peaches once and avoid pressing to keep them juicy. Burrata adds a creamy texture that is superior to mozzarella. If peaches are out of season, nectarines or plums can be used. For a vegan version, substitute burrata with cashew or coconut-based cheese and honey with maple syrup. Store grilled peaches and burrata separately if making ahead.
