A light and indulgent summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and salty prosciutto, perfect for quick meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula or mixed greens
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Brush each half lightly with olive oil on the cut side.
  3. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving them to create grill marks.
  4. Flip the peaches carefully and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes to warm through. Peaches should be softened but still hold their shape.
  5. Arrange the arugula or mixed greens on a large bowl or serving platter.
  6. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  7. Tear the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and layer evenly over the salad.
  8. Arrange the grilled peach halves over the salad, cut side up.
  9. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves and optional toasted pine nuts or almonds over the salad.
  10. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  11. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire salad just before serving.

Notes

Use firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches generously with olive oil to avoid sticking. Grill peaches last if multitasking to keep them warm but not mushy. Burrata is best fresh and served the same day. For a dairy-free version, substitute burrata with plant-based cheese and omit prosciutto or replace with toasted nuts.
