Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 4 cups fresh arugula leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (205°C).
- Rinse and dry peaches. Cut each in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and fruit softens slightly but keeps shape. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Rinse and dry arugula. Place in a large bowl and toss lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and lemon juice if using.
- Tear or gently slice burrata into chunky pieces, keeping the creamy center intact.
- On a serving platter, arrange the dressed arugula in a bed. Fan out grilled peach halves on top.
- Drape prosciutto slices around the peaches and arugula.
- Distribute torn burrata over the salad and scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
- Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons balsamic glaze over the salad, followed by a final drizzle of olive oil. Grind fresh black pepper on top to taste.
- Serve immediately while peaches are slightly warm and burrata is creamy.
Notes
If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella can be used as a substitute. For a dairy-free option, replace burrata with creamy avocado or cashew cheese. To add crunch, sprinkle toasted nuts like pine nuts or walnuts before serving. Let burrata come to room temperature before slicing for best texture. If no balsamic glaze is available, reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat or drizzle balsamic vinegar mixed with honey.
