A light and satisfying summer salad combining fresh peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and a sweet-tangy honey balsamic glaze. Perfect for quick entertaining and capturing the essence of summer on a plate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced (about 1/4 inch thick)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, drained and roughly torn
  • 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the honey balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir gently and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy (it should coat the back of a spoon). Remove from heat and whisk in extra-virgin olive oil. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Slice the peaches: Wash and dry peaches, then slice them thinly—about 1/4 inch thick. Handle gently if very ripe.
  3. Tear the burrata: Carefully open the burrata and tear it into chunky pieces. Place on serving platter or salad bowl.
  4. Arrange the prosciutto: Tear or fold prosciutto slices into bite-sized pieces and distribute over burrata and peaches.
  5. Assemble the salad: Gently layer peach slices over and around burrata and prosciutto. Scatter torn basil leaves on top.
  6. Drizzle the glaze: Slowly drizzle the honey balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
  7. Season and finish: Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Add toasted pine nuts or walnuts if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe peaches for best flavor and texture. Handle burrata gently to preserve its creamy texture. Reduce glaze until it coats the back of a spoon but is still pourable. Assemble salad just before serving to keep ingredients fresh. Optional nuts add crunch and texture. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with soft almond-based cheese. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
