Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a spicy-sweet hot honey balsamic drizzle that creates a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 4 cups (120 g) baby arugula or mixed greens
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for brushing peaches)
  • Extra virgin olive oil for finishing salad (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons (60 ml) honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 4 ripe peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches start to soften slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 2 minutes just to warm through. Remove and set aside to cool a bit.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Warm gently over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl or platter, arrange 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens. Tear or slice the grilled peaches into wedges and scatter on top. Tear burrata cheese into chunks and place over the salad. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Drizzle the warm hot honey balsamic sauce over the entire salad. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute burrata with avocado or plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup. Avoid moving peaches too soon on the grill to ensure proper caramelization. Warm the drizzle gently to avoid burning. Prepare drizzle ahead and rewarm if short on time. Burrata can be replaced with fresh mozzarella or goat cheese if unavailable.
