A light and unforgettable summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and a sweet honey drizzle, balanced with fresh greens.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 8 ounces (225g) burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoons good quality raw honey
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for brushing and dressing)
  • 1012 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry peaches. Cut each peach in half and gently remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Ensure it is clean and well-oiled.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, toss mixed greens with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  5. On a serving platter, arrange the greens as a bed. Tear or slice burrata cheese and scatter over the greens. Place grilled peaches on top, cut side up.
  6. Drizzle honey evenly over peaches and burrata. Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter on top.
  7. Add a final sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. Do not overcook peaches; aim for tender with grill marks. Add honey drizzle last to keep flavors bright. If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella balls can be used but will be less creamy. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with ripe avocado or dairy-free cheese alternative.
