# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast of warm grilled peaches against cool, peppery arugula and creamy burrata feels like magic on your plate.
  • It comes together in under 25 minutes but tastes like you've been cooking all day.
  • Sweet, savory, tangy, and creamy all exist in one bowl—there's literally something for every craving.
02 -
  • Don't assemble this salad more than a few minutes before serving—the warm peaches will wilt the arugula if they sit together too long, and the burrata loses its magic as it gets cold and firms up.
  • If your peaches aren't perfectly ripe, a light honey brushing and proper grilling time will actually improve them by concentrating their sugars.
03 -
  • Buy burrata the day you plan to serve it, and keep it in the coldest part of your refrigerator until the absolute last moment—it's worth the care.
  • If your grill isn't accessible, a cast iron skillet over high heat works beautifully and creates just as much caramel on the peaches.
