A smoky-sweet grilled peach salad paired with creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and peppery arugula, finished with a bright balsamic glaze. Perfect for a fresh, light, and indulgent summer meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Small handful toasted pine nuts or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush peach halves lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but still hold shape. Flip and grill skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Lay prosciutto slices on the grill for about 30 seconds per side to crisp without drying out. Remove from grill.
  4. In a large bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  5. On a serving platter or plates, lay the dressed arugula. Halve or quarter the grilled peaches and scatter over the greens. Tear burrata into chunks and nestle among the peaches.
  6. Drape grilled prosciutto slices over the salad. Drizzle balsamic glaze and honey over everything. Sprinkle toasted nuts if using.
  7. Sprinkle a final pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let salad rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use medium-high heat for grilling peaches to get caramelization without burning. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill prosciutto briefly to crisp without drying. Burrata should be at room temperature for best texture. Can substitute burrata with creamy cashew cheese for dairy-free option. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 24 hours; add burrata fresh before serving.
