Have you ever tasted something so simple and so elegant that it made you pause mid-bite? That’s exactly how I felt the first time I tried a grilled peach and burrata salad during a summer trip to the Italian countryside.
It was one of those golden evenings — cicadas humming in the background, sun low in the sky, and the grill softly sizzling nearby. Our host had just pulled fresh peaches off the fire and paired them with creamy burrata and peppery arugula. A generous drizzle of balsamic glaze brought it all together like magic ✨. I fell in love instantly.
Back home, this salad became one of my go-to dishes for summer lunches or relaxed dinners with friends on the patio. It’s refreshing, light, and feels fancy without the fuss — a real showstopper! 🍽️
If you're looking for a salad that sings of summer, you're going to adore this one.
