A fresh and vibrant summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for gatherings or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto, torn into strips
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling and grilling
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze, for drizzling
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400°F / 200°C). Brush the grill grates or pan lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but don’t collapse. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side.
  4. While peaches are grilling, place arugula or mixed greens in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces and the prosciutto into strips.
  6. Arrange the dressed greens on a serving platter. Place grilled peaches on top, spacing evenly. Scatter torn burrata and prosciutto over the peaches and greens. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle across the salad.
  7. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire salad. If desired, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch.
  8. Add a final pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use firmer peaches to hold shape on the grill. Tear burrata gently by hand to preserve creamy texture. If no grill is available, roasting peaches in a hot oven with olive oil is a good alternative. Avoid overcooking peaches to maintain texture contrast. Store components separately if making ahead and assemble just before serving.
