A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for light dinners or unexpected guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Brush peach halves lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization.
  2. Grill the peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly but still holds shape. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. While peaches grill, toss baby arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges or thick slices.
  5. On a serving platter or large bowl, spread the greens, then gently layer grilled peach slices on top. Tear burrata into pieces and scatter over the salad. Drape prosciutto slices artfully around the plate.
  6. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves over the salad, then drizzle balsamic glaze evenly. Add a final crack of black pepper and a pinch of flaky salt if desired.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cool creamy burrata.

Notes

Pick peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid mushiness on the grill. Oil the grill or pan well to prevent sticking. Don’t overcrowd the grill to allow proper caramelization. Use balsamic glaze instead of vinegar for a sweeter, thicker finish. Tear burrata gently to keep its creamy texture intact. Prepare components ahead but assemble just before serving to keep freshness.
