A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and a spicy-sweet hot honey and basil dressing. Perfect for casual dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large fresh ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (preferably BelGioioso)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, torn or roughly chopped
  • 5 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (e.g., Mike’s Hot Honey)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt to taste (Maldon flakes recommended)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
  • Optional: chili flakes for extra heat
  • Optional: balsamic glaze for added depth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C), which takes about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Halve and pit the peaches, then lightly brush each side with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
  3. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and grill another 2 minutes on the skin side until grill marks appear and peaches are soft but not mushy.
  4. While peaches grill, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, hot honey, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Tear or chop basil leaves and stir them in last. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, toss the salad greens lightly with half of the dressing. Arrange the grilled peaches on top, then place torn or whole burrata pieces across the salad. Drizzle the remaining dressing over everything, finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and more fresh basil for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use room temperature burrata for creamier texture. Add fresh basil last to preserve flavor. Avoid overcooking peaches to prevent mushiness. Keep dressing and burrata separate if preparing ahead to avoid wilting greens and losing creaminess. Substitute fresh mozzarella or plant-based cheese if needed. Grilled nectarines or plums can replace peaches.
