Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this salad without an outdoor grill?
Yes. Use a hot indoor grill pan, a cast-iron skillet, or the oven broiler. Brush peaches with a little oil and sprinkle the Yuzu Citrus Sugar, then cook 2 to 4 minutes per side until golden and caramelized.
What can I use if I do not have Yuzu Citrus Sugar?
Mix granulated sugar with lemon or lime zest as a simple substitute. You can also use honey or maple syrup with a splash of lemon or orange juice for citrus notes, or use brown sugar for deeper caramelization.
How do I pick ripe peaches for grilling?
Choose peaches that give slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet aroma at the stem. Avoid very hard or rock‑firm fruit. Slight surface wrinkles near the stem can mean extra sweetness.
How long can I store leftovers?
Store components separately. Grilled peaches keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours. Burrata is best eaten the same day but can be stored in its liquid up to 24 hours. Assemble the salad just before serving to keep greens crisp.
What are good substitutes for burrata?
Use fresh mozzarella for a milder, firmer option or ricotta for a lighter texture. For a vegan choice try marinated soft tofu or a cashew-based 'mozzarella' spread.
Can I make this ahead for a party?
Yes. Grill the peaches and toast the pine nuts a few hours or a day ahead. Cool and refrigerate separately. Add burrata, dress the arugula, and assemble just before guests arrive for best texture.
What can I use instead of pine nuts if I have a nut allergy?
Replace pine nuts with toasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or toasted pepitas. Sliced toasted almonds work if tree nuts are allowed but avoid them if you need nut free.
