Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
Description
This salad features fresh peaches sliced and grilled after brushing with butter or ghee and sprinkling with coconut sugar to encourage caramelization. Grilling develops char marks and intensifies the natural sweetness of the fruit. Burrata cheese adds a soft, milky richness that contrasts with the warm peaches.
Arugula contributes a peppery bite, while toasted pine nuts provide a crunchy, nutty component. A balsamic vinegar reduction adds acidity and sweetness, bringing depth to the salad. Olive oil and cracked black pepper finish the dish with richness and subtle heat.
This salad works well as a light appetizer or side dish in summer months when peaches are in season. The recipe notes suggest alternative greens like spinach or frisée if arugula is not preferred, offering some flexibility to personal taste or availability.
Ingredients
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 3 peaches
- 1 tbsp butter or ghee
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 4 cups arugula
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the grill on medium heat. If using an outdoor grill, slice the peaches in half to prevent falling through the grates. If using an indoor grill pan, you can slice the peaches into quarters.
- Brush the open side of the peaches with butter or ghee and sprinkle with coconut sugar. Then, grill the peach slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until you have grill marks and the open edge has caramelized.
- While the peaches are grilling, add the balsamic vinegar to a small pot on medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly reduced. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- To assemble the salad, add a small handful of arugula to a plate, a couple of peach slices, and chunks of burrata. Sprinkle some pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil and the reduced balsamic vinegar. Top it off with a little cracked black pepper.
Notes
- Spinach, frisée, or other salad greens can replace arugula if desired.
