A refreshing summer salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and a tangy balsamic dressing. Perfect for light meals or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 oz (115 g) thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups mixed baby arugula and spinach
  • 3 tbsp good-quality balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Brush the peach halves lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and to help caramelize.
  2. Grill the peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly but still holds shape. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  3. While peaches grill, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Slice the burrata gently into bite-sized pieces or tear it with your hands for rustic texture. Set aside.
  5. On a large platter or salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens evenly. Tear the grilled peach halves into wedges and scatter over the greens.
  6. Drape the prosciutto slices over and around the salad, letting the delicate folds rest naturally.
  7. Add the burrata pieces on top, distributing them evenly.
  8. Drizzle the balsamic dressing evenly over the salad, finishing with a few twists of fresh cracked black pepper.
  9. Tear fresh basil leaves over the salad for a fragrant finishing touch.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook peaches; they should be tender but not mushy. Use fresh burrata for best creaminess. Bring peaches to room temperature before grilling for even char marks. Optionally, add toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for crunch.
