Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the peach halves with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks form and the peaches are slightly softened. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil to make the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Arrange the arugula or mixed salad greens on a serving platter. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and scatter it over the greens.

  5. Place the grilled peach halves on top of the salad. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans.

  6. Drizzle the honey balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.

  7. Serve the Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad immediately as a refreshing and flavorful appetizer or light main course.

Tips:

  • For added sweetness and depth of flavor, you can brush the peach halves with a little honey before grilling.
  • Feel free to customize the salad with additional toppings such as crispy pancetta, fresh basil leaves, or crumbled feta cheese.
  • This salad pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a light rosé.
