Grilled Peach Burrata Salad

My mouth is watering, just typing up the name of this salad. The grilled peach slices make it so special. It adds a smoky flavor that seeps into the burrata and greens. Yummay! The aged balsamic vinegar is so deep and savory that makes you feel rich, like you are eating a $50 salad. I’m happy just thinking about it.

The spiritual message for your soul from this recipe is that going through some heat, getting grilled can bring out the best in us. It opens up a sweetness that you can’t any other way.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of romaine lettuce rinsed and thinly chopped.

  • 1 cup of sliced grape tomatoes

  • ¾ cup of sliced cucumbers

  • 1- 8 oz Burrata ball, drained

  • 1 fresh peach sliced in 14-16 pieces

  • High quality Balsamic vinegar (I use a brand that has been aged 18 years)

  • A pinch of seasoned salt to garnish Burrata

  • Optional - sliced, toasted crostini bread, or crunchy crackers.

Directions

  1. Grill the peach slices on medium high heat until grill marks are visible. About 3-4 minutes. No need to coat with oil. Cool completely.

  2. Cut up romaine into thin slices.

  3. Arrange salad on a plate, leaving room in the middle to place the Burrata ball.

  4. Place peaches around the cheese and salad. Sprinkle seasoned salt over burrata. Drizzle with Balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.

Tips

You can wait to sprinkle the salt over the burrata after drizzling the balsamic vinegar over it. Experiment and add other fresh ingredients like blueberries or avocado.
