A light and memorable summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and salty prosciutto crisps, balanced with fresh greens and a balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 fresh peaches, ripe but firm, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (one ball)
  • 6 ounces prosciutto slices, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
  2. Rinse, halve, and pit the peaches. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold their shape.
  4. While peaches grill, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay prosciutto slices flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy but not burnt. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. In a large bowl, toss arugula or mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper.
  6. Arrange greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter on top.
  7. Place grilled peach halves over the salad, then crumble prosciutto crisps evenly.
  8. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salad and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and prosciutto crisps are crunchy.

Notes

Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Watch prosciutto closely in the oven to avoid burning. Tear burrata instead of slicing for better texture. Assemble salad just before serving for best freshness. Can substitute nectarines or plums for peaches. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and omit prosciutto or use plant-based alternative.
