Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and peppery arugula tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette. Perfect for backyard BBQs or light weekday dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm (freestone preferred)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh baby arugula (about 4 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted nuts (sliced almonds or pecans)
  • Balsamic glaze or reduction, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches, then slice each peach into halves and remove the pit. Cut halves into quarters or thick slices about 1/2 inch thick. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach slices on the hot grill and cook 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold their shape. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey (optional), salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. In a large bowl or serving platter, scatter 4 cups of fresh arugula. Drizzle half the dressing over and toss gently to coat.
  6. Arrange grilled peach slices over the arugula. Tear or slice the 8-ounce ball of burrata and scatter over the top.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted almonds or pecans over the salad. Drizzle balsamic glaze lightly over everything.
  8. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before tearing for better texture. Grill peaches just before serving to keep them juicy. If you don’t have a grill pan, a hot skillet works but watch closely to avoid burning. For vegan version, substitute burrata with dairy-free cheese and honey with maple syrup.
