Instructions
Spicy Basil Vinaigrette
- In a food processor or blender, combine basil, vinegar, mustard, honey, pepper flakes, and garlic. Puree on low speed while drizzling olive oil through top until dressing is smooth, scraping down sides as necessary.
- Season dressing with salt to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
Grilled Peach Burrata Salad
- Preheat a grill to 400F or lightly grease a large cast iron skillet to use on the stovetop indoors. In a small bowl, whisk honey and olive oil. Brush over cut side of peaches and set aside for a moment.
- Place peaches cut-side down on preheated grill or pan and let cook 3-5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches are slightly caramelized.
- Transfer peaches to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut each peach half into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
- Arrange greens on a large serving plate and top with grilled peaches and tomatoes. Break burrata into large pieces and arrange on top.
- Drizzle salad with basil vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Top with additional fresh basil and serve with crusty bread if desired. Enjoy!
