A quick and elegant salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for casual yet impressive dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 (8-ounce) ball burrata cheese, at room temperature
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve 3 ripe peaches, removing the pits carefully. Brush each half lightly with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  3. Place peach halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften. Flip and grill the skin side for an additional 2 minutes. Peaches should be tender but hold their shape.
  4. On a large serving platter or bowl, spread 4 cups of fresh arugula evenly. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently if desired.
  5. Tear or cut the 8-ounce burrata ball into rustic chunks and spread over the arugula.
  6. Arrange the grilled peach halves over the burrata and greens while still warm.
  7. Drape the 4 ounces of thinly sliced prosciutto over the salad, folding or loosely rolling the slices for presentation.
  8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze over the entire salad. Sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves on top. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before slicing for best texture. Brush peaches lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid caramelization. Serve salad immediately for best flavor and texture. If peaches are out of season, nectarines or plums can be substituted. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based creamy cheese and replace prosciutto with smoked tempeh or grilled tofu.
