Juicy grilled peaches pair with burrata, spinach, and pistachios for a fresh, vibrant summer dish.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Salad
01 -
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
02 -
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
03 -
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
04 -
225 grams burrata cheese
05 -
75 grams pistachios, roughly chopped
06 -
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
→ Dressing
07 -
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for grilling
08 -
1 tablespoon balsamic reduction (optional)
09 -
Salt, to taste
10 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set grill to medium-high heat to prepare for caramelizing the peaches.
02 -
Brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil and lightly season with salt to prevent sticking and enhance flavour.
03 -
Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes until pronounced grill marks develop and the fruit begins to soften.
04 -
Remove peaches from the grill and allow to cool slightly, then slice each half into wedges to maintain structure for assembly.
05 -
On a large platter, create an even layer of fresh spinach and scatter halved cherry tomatoes on top.
06 -
Neatly arrange grilled peach wedges over the salad base. Tear burrata cheese into rustic pieces and distribute evenly.
07 -
Sprinkle chopped pistachios and fresh dill over the salad for contrasting crunch and aromatic finish.
08 -
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic reduction if using, season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Select ripe but still firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape when grilled. Serve while the peaches are slightly warm for ideal contrast with the cool burrata.
02 -
For a vegetarian-friendly variation, substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or feta cheese to suit taste preferences.
03 -
Grilled nectarines, plums, or apricots may be used if peaches are not available; follow the same grilling technique.
