  • 5 oz Arugula or Mixed Greens
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Prepare the Peaches

Gently wash the peaches and pat them dry. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.

Grill the Peaches

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, toss the arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the greens on a platter or individual plates.

Add the Burrata and Peaches

Place the burrata balls on top of the greens. Arrange the grilled peach wedges around the burrata.

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the salad. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors.

FAQ

  • Can I use nectarines instead of peaches?

    Yes, nectarines are a great substitute for peaches in this salad. They offer a similar sweetness and texture.
  • Can I make this salad ahead of time?

    It's best to assemble this salad right before serving to prevent the greens from wilting and the burrata from becoming too soft. You can grill the peaches ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • What if I don't have a grill?

    You can use a grill pan on your stovetop or roast the peaches in the oven. To roast, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the peach halves on a baking sheet, and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until softened.
