Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
Serves 4-6. You will need:
- 3 peaches
- 1 bag of mixed greens
- 6 strawberries halved
- 20 blueberries
- 1 cup candied pecans
- 6 each burrata
- 4 tsp olive oil
- 6 oz balsamic glaze
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation: Cut peaches in half and remove pit. Place peaches on grill for 3 to 4 minutes, rotating for nice grill marks (you want them to be slightly charred). Slice peaches into quarters. Plate mixed greens first. Evenly distribute berries throughout the salad. Cut burrata by slicing and “X” on the top. Place pecans in the center of the burrata. Drizzle olive oil over the burrata along with balsamic glaze. Dress salad with vinaigrette. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Greek-Style Couscous
- 6 cups of chicken stock
- 3 cups of couscous
- 2 cucumbers
- 5 sweet peppers
- 1 red onion
- 2 oz fresh dill
- 2 oz lemon juice
- 1/2 cup Greek dressing
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
To prepare the couscous, first get the chicken stock to a soft boil. Add couscous and add a little extra olive oil to avoid lumps. Stir occasionally.
