Why Make This Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
This salad can be served with the peaches or nectarines. Both are similar in taste and hold up wonderfully in this salad. This salad is light, flavorful and beautiful to serve for the family or guests like my beet and feta salad.
This is one of my husbands favorite summer salads, the sweet, tangy, savory components work so well together. It's full of antioxidants, high in vitamin C and minerals and they are great for hydration. You will want grilled peaches or nectarines on all your summer meals. You can try my Peach Salad with Feta with any leftover peaches!
The tomatoes over more antioxidants and vitamin A & K. So all around this salad is a power house of health and flavor.
Ingredients Needed
Peaches. Or Nectarines. Both work great, it's really about preference and what you find fresh in the store. Make sure they are not overly ripe, we want them hard still with just a light softness.
Burrata. This is a delicious, mild soft cheese. You can find this in the specialty cheese aisle.
Mixed Greens. This is the base of the salad, use any green you prefer of course.
Fresh Herbs. Please use what you can find and afford, and what's in season. I like to use fresh oregano, dill and basil. These add a great flavor and freshness to the salad.
Balsamic Glaze. You can use balsamic vinegar, however I like balsamic glaze best as it's a bit sweeter and takes the flavor over the top.
Tomatoes. I use cherry tomatoes but any will work. Choose what's in season.
*All other ingredients and measurements are listed below in the recipe card.
Recipe Variations
Peaches. You can use nectarines in place of peaches.
Herbs. You can use parsley, cilantro or any fresh herb you love. It's to really elevate the vinaigrette so please use what you enjoy.
Olive Oil. You can also use avocado oil.
Burrata Cheese. You can use mozzarella, feta or goat cheese as well.
Balsamic Glaze. You can use balsamic vinaigrette as well, the flavor just won't be as prominent.
Red Wine Vinaigrette. Use champagne vinaigrette instead if needed.
How To Make This Recipe
Step One. Slice the peaches or nectarines in half with a sharp knife. Take the pit out and discard. Heat grill on medium heat. While it's warming up, brush peaches with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Clean the grill well before adding peaches to avoid sticking.
Step Two. Without moving, let the peaches sit directly on the grates for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Use a grill safe spatula to remove them and let them cool on a plate. You can also use a grill pan for an equal cook. Drizzle honey over the peaches.
Step Three. Prepare the herbed lemon vinaigrette. Chop all the fresh herbs well. Add them to a small bowl. Chop a little extra of the herbs to top the salad with for garnish. Add all vinaigrette ingredients into a bowl and whisk well.
Step Four. Once the peaches have cooled, carefully slice them and slice the tomatoes. In a large serving bowl or plate, layer everything over a bed of lettuce, tare the burrata into pieces and add around salad evenly. Drizzle the vinaigrette, any extra honey drizzle and any more herbs of choice for garnish. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously serve and enjoy.
Recipe FAQs
The different between peaches and nectarines is mainly the skin. Peaches have a more fuzzy texture to their skin and nectarines are more smooth. They are similar in flavor.
Yes! It will just take a little longer to grill the peaches on a grill pan, so please adjust time accordingly.
Recipe Tips
Don't use over ripe peaches or nectarines. You want the fruit to be hard still so it's keeps it's form while grilling.
To store leftovers, keep them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To make ahead, prepare everything, keep the dressing on the side and add the peaches and cheese when ready to serve.
