A simple yet elegant summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and fresh basil. Ready in 15 minutes with just five ingredients, this dish is perfect for backyard barbecues or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe but firm peaches
  • 2 balls (about 8 ounces total) burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, if peaches aren’t super sweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F for a gas grill).
  2. Wash and dry the peaches. Cut each in half along the natural seam, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Leave the skin on.
  3. Lightly brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil and season with a tiny pinch of salt.
  4. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill grates. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them, until deep grill marks form.
  5. Flip the peaches using tongs and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the skin side. The peaches should be slightly softened but still hold their shape.
  6. Transfer the grilled peaches to a cutting board or plate and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Arrange the grilled peach halves on a serving platter, cut-side up. You can leave them as halves or slice each half into wedges.
  8. Remove the burrata from its packaging, pat dry with a paper towel, and place on the platter among the peaches. Gently cut or tear open the burrata so the creamy center spills out.
  9. Scatter fresh basil leaves over everything. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and balsamic glaze or honey if using.
  10. Finish with a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately while the peaches are warm and the burrata is cold.

Notes

Best served immediately for the temperature contrast. Grill peaches just before serving. If using a grill pan, adjust heat down after first batch as pans hold heat. For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. Don’t move peaches too early to prevent sticking.
