Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

4 cups arugula or mixed salad greens

8 ounces creamy burrata cheese

1/4 cup roasted pistachios, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn

1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Start by heating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. A properly heated grill ensures those beautiful marks and enhances the flavor.

    Prepare the Peaches: Lightly brush the cut side of each peach half with the extra-virgin olive oil. Then, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over them for flavor.

      Grill the Peaches: Place the peach halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3-5 minutes, until you notice appealing grill marks and the peaches become slightly tender. Once done, remove the peaches from the grill and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

        Assemble the Salad: In a spacious bowl, add the arugula or mixed greens. Tear the grilled peaches into smaller, bite-sized pieces and incorporate them into the greens for a touch of sweetness and warmth.

          Add Burrata: Delicately tear the burrata cheese into smaller portions and scatter it generously atop the salad, allowing its creamy texture to mingle with the other ingredients.

            Finish the Salad: Scatter the coarsely chopped roasted pistachios and torn basil leaves over the salad for a pleasing crunch and aromatic freshness.

              Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the aged balsamic vinegar and honey (if using) until they are thoroughly combined. This tangy-sweet dressing will elevate the salad.

                Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad, then gently toss to combine all elements harmoniously. Transfer the vibrant salad onto a serving platter or divide it into individual plates. Enjoy your delightful creation right away for the best experience!
