Tomato, grilled peach and burrata salad with garlic flower (scape) oil and balsamic vinaigrette

Ingredients

Salad

• 1 peach, pitted and cut into quarters
• 1 tomato, cut into quarters
• ½ ball burrata or fresh mozzarella (or more), roughly torn (125 g)
• 4 to 6 cups mixed lettuce
• 6 to 7 basil leaves, shredded (or more)
• Salt and pepper

Vinaigrette

• ⅓ cup garlic flower (scape) oil
• 3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Preparation

• Preheat BBQ to medium heat.
• In a glass jar with a lid, pour the garlic scape oil, white balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Close the lid and shake vigorously. Shake the vinaigrette before serving because it has a tendency to separate.
• Oil the BBQ grill and grill the peach quarters for approximately 2 min 30 sec on each side. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, place the lettuce, tomato quarters, peach quarters and burrata. Drizzle with the shaken vinaigrette and sprinkle with basil. Add salt and pepper.
