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
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced into halves or quarters
  • 1 ball (8 oz) burrata cheese, room temperature
  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups (about 4 oz) arugula or mixed greens
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for brushing and drizzling)
  • 12 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for glazing peaches)
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375Β°F).
  2. Slice peaches in half and remove pits; quarter if large. Brush cut sides with olive oil and drizzle honey or maple syrup if using.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on grill; grill 3-4 minutes until caramelized. Flip and grill 2 more minutes on skin side. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Toss arugula or mixed greens lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  5. Arrange greens on a serving platter or plates. Tear burrata into chunks and distribute evenly over greens.
  6. Drape prosciutto slices over the salad.
  7. Place grilled peaches on top of the salad.
  8. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, then a final drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle torn basil leaves over the salad.
  9. Season with additional salt and cracked black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Let burrata come to room temperature for creamier texture. You can grill peaches a day ahead and store in the fridge. Burrata is best fresh. For vegan or vegetarian versions, substitute prosciutto and burrata accordingly.
