Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

200g burrata cheese, brought to room temperature

4 cups arugula or mixed salad greens

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. If utilizing a grill pan on the stovetop, set it to medium heat instead.

    Prepare the Peaches: Lightly brush the cut sides of the peach halves with a teaspoon of olive oil. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill them for approximately 3-4 minutes until beautifully charred and slightly softened. Turn the peaches over and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes. After grilling, remove them from the heat and set aside to cool for a few moments.

      Create the Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula or mixed greens with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, along with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat the greens evenly, then arrange the dressed salad on a spacious serving platter for a beautiful presentation.

        Layer with Burrata: Carefully tear the burrata cheese into large, rustic pieces and distribute them evenly over the greens, ensuring each bite has the creamy goodness of the burrata.

          Add the Grilled Peaches: Once the grilled peaches have cooled slightly, arrange them artfully around the burrata on the salad, allowing their vibrant colors to shine.

            Incorporate Crunch with Walnuts: Scatter the toasted walnuts across the salad for an added layer of texture and crunch, complementing the creamy burrata and juicy peaches.

              Finish with Drizzle and Garnish: Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire salad, allowing the sweet and tangy flavors to meld beautifully with the ingredients. Top with fresh basil leaves for a burst of aromatic flavor and an inviting pop of color.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve this delightful salad immediately while the peaches are still warm and the burrata is irresistibly creamy. Enjoy every bite of this fresh and summery dish!
