Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Halve and pit the peaches (do not peel). Brush the cut sides with olive oil.
Grill the peaches cut-side down for about 3–4 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and they are slightly softened but not mushy.
Arrange arugula on serving plates as a base.
Add grilled peach halves to each plate.
Tear burrata into pieces and place over the salad.
Drizzle balsamic reduction across the top of the salad in a zigzag or circular pattern.
Season with salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste.
Optional garnishes: sprinkle with fresh basil, crushed pistachios, or lay prosciutto strips around the salad.
