Recipe for Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad

Step 1: Peeing The Peaches

Begin by rinsing well under cool running water. Cut each peach in half and with a very sharp knife remove the stone. If the peaches are particularly ripe-you pit should pull right out. Oil the cut side of each peach lightly with a bit of olive oil. This also stops them from sticking and means the peaches will caramelize a little in the grill.

Step 2: Grilling Peaches

Preheat the grill or grill pan on medium. Put the peaches cut me on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, cut side down. What you want to do is get nice grill lines, grill marks and a bit browning on the peaches…not to brown them though. You can flip the peaches, but leave above peaches to be cut side up. Remove them from heat and let them cool slightly before cutting.

Step 3 : Build The Salad

Look for a big dinner platter or individual plates if you wanna throw fancy ass on it. Here is the run down of how to begin: starting off laying down a bed of arugula, or mixed greens. Gently tear the burrata balls with your hands and platter them all over the greens. Slice the peaches into wedges and place on top, uniformly spaced. Pour the toasted nuts on top of the salad for some zing! Top with some fresh basil leaves.

Step 4: Preparing the Dressing

Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. The honey adds a subtle sweetness, while the mustard gives the dressing a slight tang. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 5: Drizzling and Serving

Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad, ensuring even coverage. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and contrasting textures at their peak.

Tips for the Perfect Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad

Pick the Best Peaches Bunches

That peaches is probably one of the most important parts of this dish and picking the right fruit can make or break it afler in terms of flavor and texture. Check ripe peaches, but not so ripe that they immediately fall apart on the grill and totally avoid the over- or under-ripe peach joke—peaches gotta caramelize a little to reach deep sweet flavor territory we’re going for.

Play with Nuts

As the nuts like toasted almonds, walnuts or pine nuts are called for in the recipe the ingredient can be swapped with what you have on hand or just based on personal preference. Toasting them is a key as it truly makes the flavor and that nice crunch in contrast to the creamy burrata and tender peaches

Boost It with A Protein for Quicker Fullness

Although the Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad is a pretty nice vegetarian dish it does better as a meal if you add some protein to it– especially for a dinner, it would make it a little thicker. Burritto shines with light proteins, burrito jack and the creaminess of burrata in general.

Experiment with other Greens

Your Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad will usually have those as base of arugula or mixed greens, but if YOU want to branch out, by all means— it won't kill anything. Sweet peaches and creamy cheese should temper the bitterness or peppery tones in leafy greens.

Serve Fresh and Immediately

This salad, like most fresh dishes, is best served immediately after assembling to preserve the textures and flavors. Burrata is at its best when it's freshly cut, oozing its creamy, milky center onto the greens and peaches. If you let it sit for too long, the creamy texture can start to melt and get absorbed by the salad, losing its rich, indulgent character.
