Ingredients
Grilled Peaches
- 4 peaches or nectarines *see notes
- ¼ tsp oil for brushing

Herbed Lemon Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey more for drizzling on the grilled peaches as needed
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice about one lemon
- 1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- ½ Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- ¼ tsp fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Salad & Mix-Ins
- 1 ball burrata
- ¼ cup pistachios chopped walnuts or almonds will also work great
- ⅓ cup tomatoes, chopped
- 6-8 cups mixed greens
- 1 Tbsp balsamic glaze
- extra honey to drizzle over peaches if needed.
Instructions
- 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.
- 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 on the stovetop for an equal cook. Drizzle honey over the peaches.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Don't use over ripe peaches or nectarines. You want the fruit to be firm so it keeps its form while grilling.
- Fresh herbs. Use any fresh herbs you enjoy and have on hand, doesn't need to be these exact herbs. However I love this combination.
- Storing: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Ripening peaches. If you end up buying peaches or nectarines that aren't ripe you can ripen them on the counter at home as this fruit does continue ripen after picking. To speed up the process you can place them in a paper bag for a day or two to ripen up.
- Make sure to use a clean grill. Not only will you get nicer looking grill marks, it also keeps the peaches from sticking.
