Helpful Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches: Select peaches that are ripe but still firm to the touch. They should have a slight give when pressed but not be overly soft. This ensures they hold their shape and develop beautiful grill marks without becoming mushy.
- Preheat the grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before adding the peaches. This helps achieve a nice caramelization on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful.
- Serve immediately: For the best texture and flavor, assemble and serve the salad immediately after grilling the peaches. This ensures the burrata stays creamy, and the greens remain crisp and fresh.

Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad
Ingredients
- 2 peaches ripe but firm
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- Salt & pepper for seasoning
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons (4 g) fresh basil chopped
- 1 tablespoon (0.4 g) fresh dill chopped
- 5 cups (200 g) mixed greens
- 15 cherry tomatoes halved or quartered if large
- 1 burrata ball
- 1/4 cup (31 g) pistachios chopped and toasted
Instructions
- Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit. Cut each peach into 8 thick wedges.
- Brush the peaches with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Make sure your grill grates are well cleaned and lightly oil with vegetable oil. Preheat to medium high.
- Place the peaches on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes per side without moving. When done, remove them from the grill and let cool. If you don’t have a grill, cook the peaches on a grill pan on the stovetop.
- In a sealable jar, combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, lemon juice and zest, garlic, and half of the fresh herbs. Shake until well combined.
- Arrange the mixed greens on a serving platter. Layer on the grilled peaches and tomatoes.
- Cut the burrata into 6 pieces. If it’s especially runny, you can blot it with a paper towel before placing it on the salad. Arrange the pieces around the salad.
- Sprinkle on the pistachios.
- Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad.
- Garnish with the remaining fresh herbs.
