Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped, plus a few whole leaves for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality honey
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Halve and pit peaches, brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. Place peaches cut side down on grill. Cook 3-4 minutes without moving to develop grill marks and caramelize. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes until peaches are slightly soft but hold shape.
  3. While peaches grill, whisk together honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and finely chopped basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. On a large platter or salad bowl, spread baby arugula or mixed greens. Arrange warm grilled peaches on top and tear burrata into chunks over the salad.
  5. Drizzle honey basil dressing over salad. Scatter toasted pine nuts if using and garnish with whole basil leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chill burrata briefly if too soft to tear easily. Keep a spray bottle of water nearby to control flare-ups on the grill. Whisk dressing just before serving to keep it emulsified and fresh. Use firm but ripe peaches for best grilling results. Can substitute burrata with almond or coconut yogurt for dairy-free option.
