A Simple Grilled Peach + Burrata Salad Recipe

Peach burrata appetizer dish, perfect for summer

The perfect summer appetizer combo: peaches + burrata

This grilled peach and burrata salad is what happens when easy meets elegant. You’ve got juicy summer peaches that are lightly charred, paired with a savory, creamy burrata, and finished with a bright, herb-loaded vinaigrette made with our persimmon vinegar.

It’s satisfying, seasonal, and ideal for entertaining—especially since you can prep most of the burrata salad ahead. Think of it as one of those effortless showstopper dishes: a burrata appetizer equally perfect for a backyard hang, summer bbq, or an impromptu weeknight dinner on the patio. And it’s way easier than it looks!

What Is Burrata?

Burrata is basically a cheese within a cheese: a pouch of mozzarella filled with stracciatella (shreds of mozzarella) and cream. The result is rich, velvety, and unexpectedly refreshing—especially when served with something acidic or sweet.

The silky mozzarella shell and creamy interior are a perfect match for grilled peaches and a tangy-sweet persimmon vinegar vinaigrette. Great for warm evenings, dinner parties, or just because!
