Description
A quick and easy summer salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto for a fresh and elegant dish perfect for gatherings or weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
- 6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- A handful fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Rinse and dry the peaches. Slice each peach in half and remove the pit. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
- Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly but holds shape. Flip and grill skin side for 2 minutes.
- Place arugula or mixed greens in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, and toss gently.
- Tear or slice the burrata into bite-sized pieces.
- On a large platter or individual plates, lay down the dressed greens. Top with grilled peaches, burrata pieces, and strips of prosciutto.
- Scatter torn basil leaves and optional toasted nuts over the salad. Drizzle balsamic glaze evenly across the salad. Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.
Notes
Choose peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking. Handle burrata gently by tearing instead of slicing. Taste before adding extra salt due to prosciutto’s saltiness. Assemble salad just before serving for best texture. Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
