A light and refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and peppery arugula, perfect for backyard barbecues or light lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but remain firm. Flip and grill the skin side for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. While peaches grill, whisk together honey, fresh lemon juice, and remaining olive oil in a small bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, lightly toss the arugula with about half the dressing.
  6. Arrange the dressed arugula on a serving platter. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges or quarters and place on top.
  7. Drizzle the remaining dressing and balsamic glaze over the salad. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts and add extra sea salt and black pepper as desired.
  8. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Brush olive oil directly on peach halves to prevent sticking instead of oiling the grill. Grill peaches on medium-high heat to get caramelization without burning. Tear burrata instead of cutting for better texture. Assemble salad just before serving to keep arugula crisp and burrata fresh. Can be made vegan by omitting burrata and adding extra nuts or avocado.
