Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, balanced with fresh greens and a tangy dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 to 6 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed baby greens
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a small handful toasted pine nuts or walnuts
  • Optional: lemon zest from 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  2. Wash and dry peaches, cut each in half and remove pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until emulsified. Adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
  5. In a large bowl, toss arugula or baby greens with half the dressing to lightly coat. Add torn basil leaves.
  6. Slice grilled peaches into wedges or slices, keeping charred edges intact.
  7. Arrange dressed greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Nestle peach slices on top, tear burrata into chunks and scatter evenly. Drape prosciutto slices over the salad.
  8. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Optionally sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts and add lemon zest. Season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool, creamy burrata.

Notes

Use peaches that are ripe but firm to hold their shape on the grill. If you don’t have a grill, a broiler or hot skillet can be used to caramelize peaches. Buy fresh burrata the day you plan to use it and keep chilled until assembling. Thin slices of prosciutto from a deli counter provide better texture and flavor. Avoid flipping peaches multiple times to prevent them from breaking apart.
