Then he pairs the fruit with burrata and arugula and dresses it all with some reduced balsamic vinegar. Keep reading for his recipe…

Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad

Ingredients:

  • Two ripe peaches
  • 3 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 3 leaves arugula for garnish

Method:

  • Reduce vinegar by half in sauce pan over low heat. Should take approx 6 min. Then refrigerate.
  • Cut peaches in half and remove pit
  • Toss peach halves in olive oil and kosher salt
  • Put peach halves flat side down on grill. Grill until you have a nice grill mark. Check every 30 seconds. When you see the first set of grill marks turn peach to a 45 degree angle to achieve the crosshatch marks.

Plating:

  • Alternate slices of burrata and peach. Sprinkle whole dish with sea salt. Drizzle with desired amount of balsamic reduction and garnish with arugula leaves.
