Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad Recipe Tips

When making this grilled peach and burrata salad, here are a few tips to make sure it turns out delicious:

• This recipe only uses a handful of ingredients, which really lets the fresh ingredients shine. Because of this, make sure you use fresh summer peaches and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It will make all the difference!
• If the peaches are sticking to the grill grates, use a heat-proof spatula to gently nudge the pieces until they release. Peaches are soft, so it’s best to remove them from the grill gently.

Recipe Details

Grill the Peaches

To get this recipe started, do a bit of prep to the peaches! After slicing them in half and removing the pits, drizzle the inside of each half with a bit of olive oil. Sprinkle a bit of salt onto the peaches and set aside.

Once the peaches are prepped, preheat the grill to medium high. Give the grill about 10 minutes to heat through. Arrange the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Let them cook for about 7 minutes until they char on the bottom and begin to soften. 

Carefully remove the peaches from the grill by using a pair of tongs or spatula, being gentle enough to not smush the peaches as you pick them up.  Let the peaches cool slightly, until they’re easily handled and then assemble the salad.

Assemble the Peach and Burrata Salad

To assemble the salad, slice each grilled peach half into quarters. Then arrange the sliced peaches on a serving plate. Break open a ball of burrata and tear it into bite sized pieces over the sliced peaches on the plate. 

Drizzle a glug of olive oil over the peaches and burrata cheese, plus a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper on top of everything. Garnish with thinly sliced fresh basil and serve right away!
