Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 ball burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds
  • Optional garnish: flaky sea salt and whole basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Rinse peaches and slice in half, removing pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3–4 minutes without moving to get grill marks.
  4. Flip peaches and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side until tender but not mushy.
  5. While peaches grill, finely chop basil leaves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, chopped basil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Slice or tear burrata into chunks.
  7. Arrange grilled peaches on a serving platter. Distribute burrata pieces evenly over peaches.
  8. Drizzle basil vinaigrette generously over the salad.
  9. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds if using, add whole basil leaves and flaky sea salt on burrata.
  10. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is cool and creamy.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches for best grilling results. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Whisk vinaigrette well to emulsify. Avoid over-grilling peaches to keep texture. For vegan option, substitute burrata with cashew cheese and honey with maple syrup. Toast nuts lightly for added crunch.
