A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and salty prosciutto, perfect for light dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium fresh peaches, firm but ripe
  • 1 ball (8 ounces) burrata cheese
  • 46 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups (about 4 ounces) mixed greens (arugula, baby spinach, or spring mix)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
  2. Wash and halve peaches, removing pits. Lightly brush cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Toss mixed greens with a pinch of sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and lemon juice if using. Set aside.
  5. Arrange greens on a large platter or individual plates as a base.
  6. Place grilled peaches on top of greens.
  7. Tear burrata and scatter gently over the salad.
  8. Drape prosciutto slices over and around the salad.
  9. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the salad.
  10. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a final swirl of olive oil.
  11. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt if needed.
  12. Serve immediately for best texture contrast.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. Brush peaches with olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization. If no grill is available, roast peaches at 400°F for 10 minutes. For dairy-free, use vegan burrata and substitute prosciutto with marinated grilled tofu or smoked mushrooms.
