Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and fresh basil, perfect for backyard barbecues or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: handful of arugula or baby greens

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Slice peaches in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes until caramelized grill marks form.
  4. Flip peaches and cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Remove peaches from grill and let cool for a couple of minutes. Slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges.
  6. Tear burrata into bite-sized chunks, allowing the creamy center to ooze.
  7. Tear or fold prosciutto into strips or ribbons.
  8. On a platter or plates, arrange grilled peach slices, burrata chunks, and prosciutto ribbons.
  9. Scatter torn basil leaves over the salad. Add arugula or baby greens if using.
  10. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
  11. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  12. Serve immediately while peaches are slightly warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook peaches to avoid mushiness; use firm but ripe peaches. Brush grill and peaches with oil to prevent sticking. Add burrata just before serving to maintain creaminess. Tearing prosciutto by hand preserves texture better. Balsamic glaze is preferred over vinegar for better flavor adherence. Peaches can be roasted in the oven at 425°F for 10 minutes if no grill is available.
