Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Brush 3 halved and pitted peaches with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Grill peaches cut side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly, then flip and grill for another 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp honey. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 8-10 minutes until syrupy and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: On a large platter, arrange 4 cups arugula and top with grilled peaches and 8 oz torn burrata cheese.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the balsamic reduction evenly over the salad. Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts and 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves on top. Serve immediately while peaches are warm.
