A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a luscious balsamic reduction. Perfect for backyard barbecues and light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks or skewers for handling peaches on the grill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Halve and pit the peaches. Brush the cut sides with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until dark, caramelized grill marks appear. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side to warm through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. While peaches grill, pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add honey or maple syrup if using. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and let bubble gently until thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally and watch closely to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. On a serving platter, arrange grilled peaches in a single layer. Tear or slice burrata into chunks and scatter over peaches. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves generously on top.
  5. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic reduction over peaches, burrata, and basil. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy and fresh.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and achieve caramelized grill marks. Watch balsamic reduction closely to prevent burning. Tear burrata gently by hand to preserve creaminess. Make balsamic reduction a day ahead to save time. Serve salad immediately for best texture and flavor.
