Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, at room temperature

4 cups arugula or a mix of your favorite salad greens

1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

Fresh basil leaves for a fragrant garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your grill to a medium-high heat, allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for cooking.

    In a mixing bowl, gently toss the halved peaches with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.

      Once the grill is hot, place the peaches cut side down on the grill grates. Grill for 4-5 minutes, or until beautiful grill marks appear. Carefully flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they become perfectly caramelized. Remove them from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.

        On a large serving platter, create a vibrant bed of arugula or mixed greens, laying it out in a generous mound.

          Take the burrata cheese and tear it into rustic chunks, placing them over the greens in an inviting manner that adds to the salad's aesthetic.

            Arrange the grilled peaches artfully on top of the burrata and greens, allowing their juices to mingle with the other ingredients.

              Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire salad, creating a glossy finish, and then sprinkle the toasted walnuts for a delightful crunch.

                Finish with a scattering of fresh basil leaves, adding a pop of color and aromatic flair just before serving.
