A light and fresh summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and creamy burrata cheese, perfect for quick and memorable meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 large ripe heirloom tomatoes, sliced (or cherry tomatoes halved)
  • 8 ounces creamy burrata cheese
  • About 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 tablespoons balsamic glaze or vinegar
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or a handful of arugula

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (205°C), about 5 minutes.
  2. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for about 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Slice tomatoes into roughly 1/4-inch thick slices or halve cherry tomatoes.
  5. On a large platter, alternate slices of tomato and grilled peach halves (sliced if preferred). Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter over the top.
  6. Gently place the burrata ball in the center or tear into pieces and distribute over the salad.
  7. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze or vinegar over the salad. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Add optional toasted pine nuts or arugula for extra texture and flavor.
  9. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Lightly brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Keep burrata chilled until just before serving. If no grill is available, use a cast-iron skillet to sear peaches carefully. Assemble salad just before serving for best freshness. Optional toppings like toasted pine nuts or arugula add texture and flavor.
