Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
I’m holding on to the last glimmer of summer with this grilled peach and burrata salad. Can you believe it – there’s technically only one week of summer left. Of course, it’ll still feel like summer in SoCal for another month or so, but there’s definitely been a change in the weather. Or at least the mood.
You only have have to visit Whole Foods and see their pumpkin displays to know that most (except me) have moved on from the days of beachy hair and sand between our toes. Wait, no more fruity acai bowls on the beach?!
Well, I’m sure I’ll still enjoy those into fall (a fall according to Cali standards). But while there’s still a bit of sunshine and warmth in the air, I highly recommend you whip up grilled peaches to make this salad. It’s super easy, sweet, and all sorts of flavorful!
Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
If you have an outdoor grill to grill the peaches, all the better for that summertime, smoky flavor. But as I’m currently without an outdoor grill, I just grilled them up in my cast iron grill pan. Coat the peaches with a little butter or ghee and a sprinkle of coconut sugar so they get all caramelized on the outside.
While the peaches are grilling up, make a quick balsamic reduction. Of course, you can skip this step, but I personally love a thick and sweet balsamic syrup. For a lighter option, you can whip up this balsamic vinaigrette!
Then, all that’s left to do is assemble. Add some arugula to a plate along with a couple of peach slices, a dollop or two of burrata and a sprinkle of pine nuts. Drizzle a little olive oil and your reduced balsamic on top and finish it off with a little cracked pepper. Voila.
Surprisingly, you could even make this salad dairy free if you’d like and it’ll still taste fab. Just coat the peaches in olive oil before grilling and instead of using burrata, add a dollop of my vegan cashew ricotta (coming next week).

Description
This grilled peach and burrata salad is one of my favorite summer salads. The peaches are juicy and fresh and caramelized on the grill. It pairs deliciously with the creamy burrata and spicy arugula.
Ingredients
8 oz burrata cheese3 peaches1 tbsp butter or ghee1 tbsp coconut sugar1/2 cup balsamic vinegar4 cups arugula1/4 cup pine nuts1/4 cup olive oilblack pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat the grill on medium heat. If using an outdoor grill, slice the peaches in half to prevent falling through the grates. If using an indoor grill pan, you can slice the peaches into quarters.Brush the open side of the peaches with butter or ghee and sprinkle with coconut sugar. Then, grill the peach slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until you have grill marks and the open edge has caramelized.While the peaches are grilling, add the balsamic vinegar to a small pot on medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly reduced. It will continue to thicken as it cools.To assemble the salad, add a small handful of arugula to a plate, a couple of peach slices, and chunks of burrata. Sprinkle some pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil and the reduced balsamic vinegar. Top it off with a little cracked black pepper.
Lisa’s Tips
If you’re not a fan of arugula, you could use spinach, frisee, or another salad green.
