Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
If you can’t find burrata, fresh mozzarella is a good substitute. And if almonds aren’t your thing, try walnuts or pecans for a nutty crunch.
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the peach halves with olive oil.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until you see beautiful grill marks and the peaches are slightly softened.
- While the peaches are grilling, arrange the arugula or mixed greens on a large serving platter.
- Once the peaches are grilled, place them on top of the greens. Tear the burrata into pieces and scatter over the salad.
- Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze and a little more olive oil. Sprinkle with toasted almonds, salt, and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
Grilling peaches is a technique I learned during summer cookouts with my family. The heat brings out their natural sweetness, a little trick that makes this salad so irresistible.
