A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled nectarines, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and sweet honeycomb, perfect for backyard barbecues and light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225 g) fresh burrata cheese, drained
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto di Parma or San Daniele
  • About 2 tablespoons honeycomb, cut into small chunks
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  2. Rinse and dry nectarines. Cut each in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place nectarines cut-side down on the grill. Cook 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit caramelizes slightly.
  4. Flip and grill skin side for an additional 2 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  5. While nectarines grill, whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make dressing.
  6. Arrange grilled nectarines cut side up on a serving platter or large bowl.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over nectarines.
  8. Drape prosciutto slices around the plate.
  9. Drizzle dressing evenly over the salad.
  10. Scatter torn basil leaves on top.
  11. Add honeycomb pieces gently on and around the salad.
  12. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over everything and serve immediately while nectarines are slightly warm.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, use a grill pan or cast-iron skillet on the stovetop. Soak bamboo skewers if using to stabilize nectarines. Toast pine nuts for extra texture. Substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella and cream cheese or vegan cheese for dairy-free. Adjust honeycomb amount to balance tartness.
