Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

8 oz burrata cheese, at room temperature

4 cups arugula or a mix of your favorite greens

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup toasted pistachios, roughly chopped

A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. It's important to ensure the grates are clean; lightly oil them to prevent the peaches from sticking.

    Prepare the Peaches: While your grill warms up, wash the peaches thoroughly. Slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit with a spoon or your fingers.

      Grill the Peaches: Once the grill is ready, place the peach halves cut-side down on the grate. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes until you see nice grill marks and the peaches soften slightly. After that, flip them over and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through. Once done, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes.

        Arrange the Greens: In a large serving platter or bowl, create a bed of arugula or mixed greens as the fresh base for your salad.

          Add Burrata: Carefully tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and scatter them over the arranged greens, allowing the creamy texture to complement the salad.

            Place Grilled Peaches: After the peaches have cooled slightly, place them atop the greens and burrata, positioning them so every bite has a taste of the sweet fruit.

              Season and Dress: Generously drizzle balsamic glaze and extra-virgin olive oil over the salad. Season it with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes to add a hint of heat.

                Garnish: Finish your salad by sprinkling the toasted pistachios and freshly torn basil leaves on top. This will not only enhance the flavor but also add a beautiful visual contrast.

                  Serve: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, creamy, and crunchy textures.
