A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches paired with creamy burrata and salty prosciutto, drizzled with a simple balsamic dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and soft
  • 6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the peaches and slice them in half, removing the pits carefully. Pat dry gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 3 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. On a large platter or salad bowl, spread the arugula evenly. Arrange the grilled peaches on top, tear burrata into chunks and distribute across the salad. Drape prosciutto slices around the peaches.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Finish with torn fresh basil leaves and a light sprinkle of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dry peaches well before grilling to avoid steaming. Use tongs to turn peaches gently to keep halves intact. For crunch, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or goat cheese. For dairy-free, replace burrata with avocado or vegan mozzarella.
