Grilled Beet Salad With Burrata And Cherries
- 6 medium beets (about 2 lb. total)
- 1 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 8 oz. burrata or mozzarella, torn into 2" pieces
- 8 oz. fresh cherries (about 2 cups), halved, pitted
- 1 cup Castelvetrano olives, smashed, pitted
- Flaky sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Prepare a charcoal fire in a grill. Let coals cool to medium heat (coals should be covered with ash and glowing red with no black remaining).
- Grill beets directly on coals, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and flesh is fork-tender, 35-45 minutes. (Alternatively, grill, covered, on the grate of a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 45-55 minutes.) Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let steam until cool enough to handle.
- Wearing gloves if you don't want pink hands, pull charred skins off beets (they should slip off easily), then slice each beet into 6 wedges. Transfer to a large bowl, add vinegar, kosher salt, and 3 Tbsp. oil, and toss to combine.
- Arrange beet mixture on a platter. Top with burrata, cherries, and olives. Drizzle with oil; season with sea salt and pepper.
- Beets can be grilled 2 days ahead. Let cool (do not peel); cover and chill.
