Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, toasted pine nuts, and fresh greens, dressed with a honey-lemon vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 ball (about 8 ounces / 225 grams) fresh burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup (about 30 grams) pine nuts, toasted
  • 4 cups (about 120 grams) arugula or mixed greens
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Optional: handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Optional: drizzle of balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Cut in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove and cool.
  4. Grill peaches cut side down for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. Toss arugula or mixed greens with half the dressing until lightly coated.
  7. Arrange dressed greens on a serving platter. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over greens.
  8. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and arrange on top of the salad.
  9. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts evenly over the salad.
  10. Drizzle remaining dressing over the salad, add fresh basil leaves if using, and finish with flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  11. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften. Watch pine nuts carefully while toasting to avoid burning. Use firm peaches that hold shape well on the grill. Dressing can be adjusted for sweetness or acidity. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with marinated tofu or nut-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
