Ingredients

  • Choose peaches that are fragrant but not too soft—they grill best and caramelize nicely without falling apart.
  • The peppery bite of arugula helps balance the sweetness of the peaches; fresh and crisp greens work wonders.
  • Tear the basil leaves instead of chopping to release more aroma and avoid bruising.
  • Burrata transforms the salad with its luscious texture—make sure it’s cold to help tearing it neatly.
  • Brush the peaches lightly to prevent sticking, and reserve a bit to drizzle at the end for freshness.
  • The honey adds a floral sweetness—warm it if needed to drizzle smoothly.
  • Use a glaze, not vinegar; it offers a thick, tangy accent rather than overpowering acidity.
  • Sprinkle just before serving to give bursts of flavor in each bite.
  • Gives gentle heat and balances the richness—grind it coarse for a rustic touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I grill peaches without sticking?
