Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 1 ball of burrata cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the peach halves lightly with olive oil.
2. Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they develop grill marks and slightly soften. Flip and grill for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the grilled peach halves on a serving platter. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and place it over the peaches. Scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
4. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve immediately while the peaches are still warm.

Expert Tips

• Choose Ripe Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe but firm peaches. They should yield slightly to pressure but not be too soft.
• Enhance the Balsamic Glaze: If you want a more intense flavor, reduce balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until it thickens into a syrupy glaze.
• Add Crunch: For extra texture, sprinkle toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts over the salad.

FAQ

Can I make this salad ahead of time?
While it’s best served fresh, you can grill the peaches ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Assemble the salad just before serving to keep the burrata fresh.

What can I use instead of burrata?
If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella is a great substitute. It won’t be as creamy but will still taste delicious.
