Ingredients

• 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
• 2 balls (about 200 g) fresh burrata cheese
• 4 cups (100 g) arugula or mixed greens
• 1/4 cup (35 g) toasted pistachios or walnuts
• 8–10 fresh basil leaves, torn
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for dressing)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)

Instructions

1. Preheat Grill

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the peach halves lightly with olive oil.

2. Grill Peaches

Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side, until charred and caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly, then slice each half into wedges.

3. Make Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

4. Assemble Salad

Arrange arugula or mixed greens on a serving platter. Scatter grilled peach slices on top.

5. Add Burrata

Tear the burrata into pieces and nestle among the peaches and greens.

6. Dress and Garnish

Drizzle with the honey dressing. Sprinkle with toasted nuts and torn basil leaves.

7. Serve

Serve immediately, garnished with extra black pepper if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure the grill is sufficiently hot before placing the peaches to achieve a nice caramelization. Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. When tearing the burrata, be gentle to keep its creamy texture intact.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For extra zest, add a few slices of prosciutto (omit for vegetarian). Substitute nectarines or plums for peaches if desired. Use walnuts instead of pistachios depending on your preference.
