A quick and fresh summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, balanced with peppery arugula and a tangy balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula leaves, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction or glaze
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375–400°F (190–200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high for about 5 minutes.
  2. Rinse peaches and slice in half, removing pits carefully. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3–4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for 1–2 minutes to warm through.
  4. While peaches grill, toss arugula with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  5. Arrange dressed arugula on a serving platter or bowl. Tear grilled peach halves into large chunks and scatter over the greens.
  6. Tear burrata into pieces and place on top of the salad. Lay prosciutto slices artfully around or folded over the salad.
  7. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over everything, drizzle with balsamic glaze and remaining olive oil. Add a drizzle of honey if desired.
  8. Finish with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use peaches that are ripe but firm to avoid them falling apart on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Tear burrata by hand to preserve its creamy texture. Assemble and serve immediately to enjoy warm peaches and creamy burrata. For dairy-free, substitute burrata with vegan alternatives. For vegetarian, omit prosciutto and add toasted nuts or chickpeas.
