Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 8 ounces burrata cheese torn into pieces
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds or walnuts chopped
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Peaches
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush each peach half generously with olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on the peaches to enhance their natural flavor.
Grill the Peaches
- Place the peach halves cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until grill marks form and the peaches begin to soften. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove from grill and set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Salad
- In a large salad bowl, toss the arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange the greens on individual plates or a serving platter.
- Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the greens. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and arrange them around the salad.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds or walnuts over the salad for crunch. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over everything. Finally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and added aroma.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm peaches and cool, creamy burrata. Perfect as a starter or a light meal.

Notes
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to the touch for grilling to avoid mushy texture.
- Toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant for enhanced flavor.
- Store salad components separately to keep fresh; assemble just before serving.
