Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

8 oz burrata cheese

4 cups fresh arugula or mixed greens

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1/4 cup high-quality extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup pistachios, toasted and 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 spicy kick

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are well-cleaned and lightly coated with oil to prevent food from sticking.

    Prepare the Peaches: While your grill heats up, rinse the peaches under cool water. Using a sharp knife, slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit.

      Grill the Peaches: Once the grill is hot, place the peach halves cut-side down directly on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until you see impressive grill marks and the peaches begin to soften. Afterward, flip the peaches over and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes before removing them from the grill. Let them cool slightly before handling.

        Arrange the Greens: In a large serving platter or bowl, lay the arugula or mixed greens as the base for your salad, creating a beautiful, textured foundation.

          Add Burrata: Gently tear the burrata cheese into bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the bed of greens, allowing its creamy richness to complement the other ingredients.

            Place Grilled Peaches: Once the peaches have cooled enough to handle, place them cut-side up among the greens and burrata, ensuring they are evenly spaced for visual appeal.

              Season and Dress: Drizzle the balsamic glaze and olive oil generously across the entire salad, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Season with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra touch of heat.

                Garnish: To finish, sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the top of the salad, followed by the torn basil leaves. This adds both visual beauty and aromatic freshness.

                  Serve: Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the delightful contrast of sweet, creamy, and crunchy textures that make this dish irresistible.
