How to Make Grilled Peach Salad with Burrata

Step 1: Grill the Peaches

Preheat your grill (or grill pan).
Halve peaches and remove pits.
Brush cut sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill cut-side down for 2–3 minutes until grill marks form.
Flip, grill another 1–2 minutes. Remove, drizzle with honey, and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Vinaigrette

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice and zest, garlic, and fresh herbs.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

On a platter or bowl, lay the mixed greens.
Scatter cherry tomatoes and grilled peaches over the top.
Add chunks of burrata and sprinkle with pistachios.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Drizzle the lemon herb vinaigrette and balsamic glaze.
Finish with fresh herbs and a final crack of black pepper.

And just like that—your quick grilled peach salad is ready to serve!

Recipe Tips

Choose peaches that are firm but ripe—too soft and they’ll fall apart on the grill.
Don’t over-grill: 2–3 minutes per side is perfect to caramelize but not mush.
Prep ahead: Grill peaches and make vinaigrette in advance.
Leftovers? Store in an airtight container (without dressing and cheese) for up to 2 days.
