Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

1 tablespoon olive oil

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 cups arugula or mixed greens

8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces

¼ cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure the surface is clean, and lightly oil it to minimize sticking.

    Prepare the Peaches: Take the peach halves and brush the cut sides generously with olive oil. Season them with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance their natural sweetness.

      Grill the Peaches: Carefully place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes until you see beautiful grill marks and the peaches soften just slightly. Once done, remove them from the grill and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

        Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh arugula (or mixed greens) and the toasted walnuts. Use your hands or a gentle tossing motion to mix the ingredients evenly.

          Add the Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into manageable pieces and distribute them artfully over the salad, allowing it to mingle with the greens and walnuts.

            Finish with Peaches: Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and elegantly arrange them on top of the salad, adding a burst of color and flavor.

              Drizzle and Garnish: Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire salad, adding a tangy sweetness. Finally, scatter fresh basil leaves on top for an aromatic and vibrant finish.

                Serve: Toss the salad gently to mix all the components, or for a stunning presentation, serve in individual plates, showcasing the beautiful layers of ingredients.
