Print Recipe

A light and refreshing summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, balanced with fresh greens and a tangy balsamic dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups mixed baby arugula and spinach greens
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic reduction or glaze
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
  2. Rinse and pat dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip peaches carefully using tongs and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Avoid pressing down on the peaches.
  5. While peaches grill, whisk together olive oil, balsamic glaze, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, toss the mixed greens with half of the dressing to coat lightly.
  7. Arrange the dressed greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  8. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and place them over the salad. Drape prosciutto slices around the plate.
  9. If using, sprinkle toasted nuts on top for crunch.
  10. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the assembled salad. Add a final sprinkle of cracked black pepper and flaky sea salt if desired.
  11. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use tongs to flip peaches to avoid breaking them. Tear burrata by hand for best texture. Toss greens lightly with dressing to prevent sogginess. Peaches can be grilled ahead and kept warm wrapped in foil. Serve salad immediately for best flavor and texture.
