Grilled Peach Salad Recipe with Burrata
Description
The recipe begins by grilling peach wedges lightly brushed with olive oil until they develop grill marks and soften yet retain shape. Leafy greens including arugula and butter lettuce are tossed with the prepared balsamic vinaigrette, which is shaken together with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and a smashed garlic clove that is removed before serving. The slightly warm peaches are arranged atop the dressed greens along with cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata cheese torn into pieces, roughly chopped roasted salted pistachios, and fresh basil leaves.
The contrast between the warm grilled peaches and the cool creamy burrata is a feature of this salad. The vinaigrette ties the ingredients with honeyed acidity and garlic aroma. Pistachios add crunch and a hint of saltiness, while basil adds brightness and herbaceous notes.
Serving the salad with the burrata at room temperature enhances its creaminess, and peaches should be ripe but firm to hold grilling shape. This salad suits light meals, warm-weather menus, or as a flavorful starter.

- 3 peaches sliced into wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups leafy greens mix of arugula and butter lettuce

Instructions
- Grilled Peaches: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure your grill grates are clean. Lightly brush the peach wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the peach wedges on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Remove the peaches from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.
- Preparing the Balsamic Vinaigrette: In a small mason jar, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon raw honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add the smashed garlic clove to the jar. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the ingredients are well combined.Remove the garlic clove before using the vinaigrette on the salad.
- Season the salad: Add the greens to a large serving bowl. Pour 1/2 of the dressing over the greens and toss well to coat the greens in the dressing.
- Assembling the Salad: In a large salad bowl or serving platter, place the arugula and greens. Gently tear the burrata cheese into pieces and place them on the greens. Add the grilled peach wedges, sliced tomatoes, and roughly chopped pistachios to the salad. Scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top. Drizzle the rest of the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
