Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled nectarines, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and fresh arugula, perfect for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 6 to 8 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry nectarines, then cut in half and remove pits. Lightly brush cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place nectarines cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks and caramelization.
  4. Flip nectarines carefully using tongs and grill skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but holding shape.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  6. Spread arugula evenly on a large serving platter or salad bowl and drizzle lightly with dressing.
  7. Slice grilled nectarines into 3-4 wedges each and fan them out over the arugula.
  8. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad. Drape prosciutto slices loosely on top.
  9. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the salad. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
  10. Serve immediately while nectarines are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Brush nectarines with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning. Serve salad immediately for best flavor and texture. Substitute fresh mozzarella for burrata if needed. For vegetarian version, omit prosciutto and add toasted nuts.
