A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, tossed with fresh greens and a balsamic drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 8 oz burrata cheese
  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula or spring mix)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • A handful fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C), approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, cut in half, remove pits, then slice each half into 3–4 wedges.
  3. Brush peach slices lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage browning.
  4. Place peach slices skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear, then flip and grill the other side for 2–3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  5. While peaches grill, place mixed greens and torn basil leaves into a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Arrange dressed greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens. Lay grilled peach slices on top.
  7. Drape prosciutto slices loosely over the salad. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts if using.
  8. Drizzle a little more olive oil and a few drops of balsamic glaze or vinegar if desired. Grind fresh black pepper over the top and lightly salt the burrata if needed.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use firm, ripe peaches to avoid mushy grilled fruit. Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Keep burrata cold until serving and tear gently by hand. Thinly sliced prosciutto works best; optionally flash-fry for crispiness. Assemble salad just before serving for best texture. Substitute nectarines or apricots if peaches are out of season.
