Grilling avocados brings out a hint of smoky flavor, and grilling peaches caramelizes them. Together with creamy burrata cheese, the grilled avocados and peaches with lemon-vinaigrette-topped baby lettuces make a colorful avocado salad that sings of summer.

Instructions

Grilled Avocado, Peach and Burrata Salad 1/2 cup lemon vinaigrette salad dressing (store bought or use simple recipe below) 2 large, firm-ripe peaches, quartered and seeded 2 firm-ripe, Fresh California Avocados, seeded, peeled and quartered 1 (5 oz.) container spring mix lettuces and greens 8 oz. fresh burrata cheese (may use large or small burrata cheese balls) Fresh ground black pepper, to taste 1/8 tsp. flaky smoked salt or sea salt, optional Homemade Lemon Vinaigrette (Yield ½ cup dressing) 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 1 small clove garlic, minced 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice 1 tsp. lemon zest 1/2 Tbsp. honey 1/4 tsp. sea salt 1/8 tsp. black pepper 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Grilled Avocado, Peach and Burrata Salad:

Preheat gas, electric or charcoal grill to medium-high.
Prepare Homemade Lemon Vinaigrette recipe below, if using.
Brush the peach and avocados quarters liberally with some of the salad dressing; reserve remaining dressing for the salad.
Place the peach quarters on the grid flat sides down. Grill about 2 ½ minutes per side, then gently turn peaches to the other flat sides and grill about 2 ½ minutes more or until tender.
Add the avocado quarters to the grid flat sides down. Grill just until grill marks appear, about 1 minute. Gently turn avocados to the other flat sides and grill for about 1 minute more then remove from grill.
Mix the salad greens with as much of the reserved salad dressing as you want, then place on a serving platter.
Place the burrata cheese on the lettuce in the center of the platter, or if using mini burrata balls scatter them around the platter.
Arrange the grilled peach and avocado quarters on the platter. Sprinkle the salad with black pepper and smoked salt or flakey sea salt, if using.
Serve immediately.

Homemade Lemon Vinaigrette:

In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients except the olive oil. (May use a blender instead.)
Whisk in the olive oil in a slow stream until the dressing emulsifies. If preparing in advance, whisk again just before serving.

Serving Suggestion: Top with roasted seeds, chopped nuts, or candied nuts.

Beverage Pairing: Moscato wine or Chardonay

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

Editor's Note

Watch the peaches carefully on the grill, adjusting heat as needed as they can easily go from caramelized to burnt.
