A simple and elegant summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, peppery arugula, salty prosciutto, and creamy burrata, dressed with a tangy balsamic glaze dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 6 to 8 thin slices of prosciutto
  • 1 (8-ounce) ball of burrata cheese
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or chopped fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C).
  2. Halve and pit the peaches. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until grill marks form and peaches start to soften.
  4. Flip peaches carefully and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes until tender but not falling apart.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and balsamic glaze. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. In a large bowl, toss arugula with half of the dressing to lightly coat the leaves.
  7. Arrange grilled peaches on top of the arugula, followed by torn slices of prosciutto and chunks of burrata.
  8. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad. Add extra sea salt and pepper if desired.
  9. Optionally, scatter toasted pine nuts or fresh basil over the salad for added texture and aroma.
  10. Serve immediately at room temperature.

Notes

Choose firm, ripe peaches that hold their shape on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Add burrata last to keep its creamy texture. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. For vegetarian version, omit prosciutto and add nuts. For vegan, use cashew-based burrata alternative or avocado slices.
