Print Recipe

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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups (about 120 grams) arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then slice each in half and remove the pits carefully. Brush each peach half lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes without moving them to get grill marks and caramelization. Flip and cook the skin side for another 2 minutes until golden-brown and aromatic.
  4. While peaches grill, toss the arugula in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange the dressed arugula on a large platter or individual plates. Tear the burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  6. Once slightly cooled (warm is best), arrange the peach halves on top of the salad.
  7. Tear or fold the prosciutto slices and drape them elegantly around the plate, overlapping the burrata and peaches.
  8. Scatter fresh basil leaves over everything, then drizzle the balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern.
  9. Add a final sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use firm ripe peaches for best grilling results. Let burrata come to room temperature before serving for creamier texture. If no grill is available, use a cast-iron skillet to sear peaches. Avoid overcooking peaches to maintain texture contrast. Substitute burrata with marinated tofu for dairy-free option and prosciutto with smoked turkey or omit for vegetarian version.
