Instructions
Basil Vinaigrette
- In a food processor add all of the vinaigrette ingredients: 1/2 cup basil, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp kosher salt and black pepper.
- Blend in a food processor till basil is finely chopped, taste and adjust acid if desired. If not using right away, cover and store in refrigerator (oil will separate, give a quick whisk before serving).
Peach Salad
- Turn grill on to 450F and lightly oil the grill grates, this will help keep the peaches from sticking.
- Once to temperature, place each slice of peach on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, till peaches have grill marks. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Place arugula at the bottom of the serving dish, take your ball of burrata cheese, and tear it into 3-4 pieces with your hands. Nestle the burrata cheese into the arugula. Place your grilled peaches around the salad and scatter the pine nuts. Spoon the basil vinaigrette over the salad and serve the rest on the side for those who want extra.

Notes
- Selecting peaches to grill: You want the peaches to be slightly firm and not too ripe, or else they will get mushy on the grill. Avoid peaches that are bruised, wrinkled skin, or give too much when pressed, these are too ripe. The perfect grilling peach gives slightly with a gentle squeeze.
- How-to cut peaches: There’s two ways to cut your peach: You can cut around the pit and twist, like an avocado, then proceed to slice the peach. Alternatively, sometimes less ripe peaches are hard to twist open around the pit, so you can slice going around the peach as shown in post.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can lightly toast the pine nuts in a skillet over low/medium heat.
- This salad is best served fresh/right away because of the fresh burrata cheese. If you want to make ahead, refrigerate all components separately until ready to serve, the burrata and basil vinaigrette will wilt the arugula.
- Store basil vinaigrette in an airtight container for 2-3 days for optimal freshness, shake or whisk to reintegrate oil.
