# What You'll Need:

→ Produce

01 - 3 ripe peaches, halved and pits removed
02 - 4 cups baby arugula or mixed baby greens
03 - 1 small handful fresh basil leaves

→ Dairy

04 - 2 balls fresh burrata cheese (approximately 7 ounces total)

04 - Tear burrata balls gently and distribute pieces among the greens and grilled peaches.
05 - Scatter fresh basil leaves over the salad.
06 - Drizzle honey and balsamic glaze across the surface. Finish with a touch of olive oil, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve promptly.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The peaches transform into caramelized jewels that make every bite pop with sweet and smoky flavor.
  • Burrata turns creamy bliss into a centerpiece, and the honey-balsamic drizzle is a finishing touch you won't want to skip.
02 -
  • If you grill the peaches too long, they turn mushy and lose their charm—stick close by and flip at the right time.
  • Tearing burrata instead of slicing yields creamy pockets that blend beautifully into salads—it's a trick I only learned after a few messy experiments.
03 -
  • Always let the peaches cool for a minute before slicing to avoid losing all their juices.
  • A dash of lemon zest over the salad makes everything taste even brighter—it's the secret I keep for myself.
