Ingredients

4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
5 oz baby arugula
8 oz burrata cheese, torn
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
to taste Fresh basil leaves, torn, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the cut sides of the peach halves lightly with olive oil.
Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes, until deep grill marks form and they soften slightly. Remove and let cool a few minutes, then slice into wedges.
In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until reduced by half and syrupy. Stir in honey and lemon juice; season with a pinch of salt.
Arrange arugula on a large platter. Scatter grilled peach slices, torn burrata, red onion, and toasted pecans over the top.
Drizzle generously with the balsamic-honey reduction and a little extra olive oil.
Season with flaky salt and black pepper, scatter torn basil over the top, and serve immediately.
