Servings: 4
Ingredients
For The Grilled Peach Panzanella
- 4 small to medium peaches pitted and halved (or sliced into large chunks if not freestone)
- 1 ball burrata
- 1/2 small onion or shallot thinly sliced and soaked in ice water
- 3 slices ciabatta bread ~3 cups torn bread chunks
- 3 small cucumbers chopped, smash about half of them
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
For the Champagne Vinegar Dressing
- 4 tablespoons champagne vinegar red wine, white wine, apple cider or rice wine vinegar can be used
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and heat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
- Tear the ciabatta into bite-sized chunks. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Lightly oil the cut side of the peaches and place them on the hot grill. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until dark grill marks appear. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop your cucumbers into bite-sized irregular chunk, and smash about half of those. Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters. Thinly slice the onion (or shallot) and soak it in ice water for 10 minutes to mellow its sharpness. Drain before using.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together champagne vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk or shake until honey is fully dissolved and dressing is emulsified.
- In a large bowl, toss the grilled peaches, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and toasted bread along with half of the dressing.
- Arrange the salad on a large serving platter. Scatter over fresh basil and tear the burrata over the salad. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and finish with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper.
