Ingredients
- 2 peaches ripe but firm
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt & pepper for seasoning
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 5 cups mixed greens
- 15 cherry tomatoes halved or quartered if large
- 1 burrata ball
- 1/4 cup 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.

Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
