My grilled Peach Burrata Salad is a gorgeous, showstopping dish. If this isn’t a summertime dream, I don’t know what is. This salad begs to be enjoyed outdoors on a sunshiny day. You know I am a huge lover of sweet and salty, and the burrata combined with 🍯 honey and 🍑 peaches is everything and more.

Why You’ll Love Peach Burrata Salad
This salad is summertime on a platter! When you 🔥 grill the peaches, the natural sugars get nice and caramelized, enhancing their sweetness and creating a slight smokey char on the fruit. Combined with peppery arugula and creamy burrata, this salad is a feast for the senses and will be the showstopper at your next barbecue.
How to Prepare Peach Burrata Salad
🔥 Firstly, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil with avocado oil.
🥑 Next, use a pastry brush to lightly brush the peaches with avocado oil.
🍑 Now, grill the peach pieces on each side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until you have grill marks on each side.
🌿 Next, add the arugula to a serving plate and then assemble your peaches and burrata on top.
🍯 Finally, season it all with olive oil, salt, honey, and parsley. Enjoy!

It’s quite simple to grill peaches (or any fruit!). Using a pastry brush, I like to first lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with avocado oil to help prevent sticking. Then I place each slice on the preheated grill, cut-side down. Leave them for a couple of minutes to make sure you get those beautiful grill marks, and then flip them to the other side for another minute or two until perfectly tender and caramelized.
