A light and satisfying summer salad featuring grilled honey-glazed peaches, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for quick entertaining or a fresh meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 68 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups arugula or mixed greens, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Wash, halve, and pit the peaches. Using a brush, lightly coat the cut sides with honey (about 1 tablespoon per peach half). Let them sit for 5 minutes to soak in the sweetness.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until caramelized grill marks appear. Flip and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side just to warm through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. While peaches are grilling, toss arugula or mixed greens in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Toss gently to avoid bruising leaves.
  5. On a large platter, spread the dressed greens evenly. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens. Arrange grilled peach halves on top, cut side up.
  6. Drape thin slices of prosciutto gracefully over the salad. If using nuts, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts now.
  7. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves across the salad. Add a final drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

If peaches are underripe, soften them in the microwave for 15 seconds before grilling. Avoid overcrowding the grill pan to prevent steaming. Burrata is delicate; tear by hand rather than cutting. Keep dressing light to maintain fresh flavors. Optionally drizzle balsamic glaze for extra zing.
