A light and refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for quick and easy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz fresh burrata ball, drained
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (205°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, slice in half and remove pits. Lightly brush each half with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to develop char marks.
  4. Flip peaches carefully and grill for another 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, remaining olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to make the dressing.
  6. In a large bowl or serving platter, add baby arugula or greens. Drizzle lightly with dressing and toss gently to coat.
  7. Slice grilled peach halves into wedges once slightly cooled but still warm. Arrange evenly over the greens.
  8. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad. Add torn prosciutto pieces on top evenly.
  9. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the salad. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if using.
  10. Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use slightly underripe peaches for better grilling results. Drain burrata well to avoid watery salad. Tear prosciutto by hand for better texture. Grill peaches last to keep them warm. If no grill is available, use a cast-iron skillet or broiler carefully.
