Print Recipe

A quick and elegant summer salad featuring smoky grilled white peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for easy entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe white peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (about 225 grams) burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups (about 120 grams) arugula, fresh and peppery
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for grilling and dressing)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C), for approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Rinse the peaches gently, slice them in half, and remove the pits. Brush each half lightly with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the arugula with half of the dressing until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the dressed arugula on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  7. Place grilled peach halves artfully on top of the salad. Drape the prosciutto slices around and over the salad.
  8. Sprinkle torn basil leaves across the salad. Drizzle the balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern over everything.
  9. Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad just before serving.

Notes

If burrata is very cold, let it sit out for 5-10 minutes before breaking apart to enhance creaminess. Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote caramelization. For dairy-free options, substitute burrata with cashew cheese or omit cheese and add toasted nuts. Store salad components separately if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
