Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

8 ounces burrata cheese

5 cups mixed greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, and baby kale)

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon honey

¼ cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches a consistent temperature for even cooking.

    Prepare the Peaches: Lightly brush the cut sides of the peach halves with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. This helps prevent sticking and enhances the flavor during grilling.

      Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches face-down on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 4-6 minutes until you see beautiful grill marks appearing and the peaches are slightly softened. Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2 minutes to warm them through. Remove the peaches from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

        Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, balsamic glaze, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.

          Assemble the Salad: On a large serving platter or in individual bowls, create a base with a generous amount of mixed greens, allowing the vibrant colors to shine through. Tear or slice the burrata into chunks and distribute it evenly over the top of the greens.

            Add Grilled Peaches: Gently place the grilled peach halves on top of the burrata and mixed greens, showcasing their beautiful grill marks.

              Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the entire salad for a delightful crunch, and finish with fresh basil leaves strategically placed for an aromatic touch.

                Finish with Dressing: Just before serving, drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad for a burst of flavor and to tie all the components together.

                  Serve Immediately: Enjoy your refreshing and vibrant Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad, which makes for an exquisite appetizer or a light main course!
