A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, balanced with fresh greens and a balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm, sliced in halves or thick wedges
  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese, ideally fresh
  • 6 oz (170 g) thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma
  • 4 cups (120 g) mixed greens, such as baby arugula or spring mix
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, preferably cold-pressed
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • A small handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted nuts such as sliced almonds or pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry the peaches, then slice them in halves or thick wedges, leaving the skin on. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches start to soften. Flip and grill the other side for 2-3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  4. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the greens on a serving platter. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  6. Arrange the grilled peaches on top, followed by thin slices of prosciutto draped around the salad.
  7. Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and optional toasted nuts over the top.
  8. Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously around the salad. Add a final sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is soft and creamy.

Notes

Use fresh peaches for best grilling results. Avoid overcooking peaches to prevent mushiness. Burrata is preferred for creaminess but fresh mozzarella can substitute. Prepare balsamic glaze ahead or use store-bought. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
