A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and fresh basil, perfect for casual gatherings or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm, sliced into halves or thick wedges
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (one ball)
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn or whole
  • 23 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or balsamic reduction
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice in half and remove pits or cut into thick wedges about ¾ inch thick. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peach halves or wedges cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks, then flip and grill the other side for 3 minutes until slightly softened and caramelized.
  4. On a large serving platter, spread torn fresh basil leaves evenly. Tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the basil.
  5. Tear or slice burrata into chunks and place on top of basil and prosciutto.
  6. Arrange warm grilled peaches on top, letting juices mingle with cheese and basil.
  7. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice over the salad. Follow with 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Let the salad sit for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use medium-high heat to get good caramelization without burning peaches. Brush peaches lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Tear burrata and prosciutto for better texture and blending. Serve salad fresh and within 5 minutes of dressing for best texture contrast. Homemade balsamic glaze can be made by simmering balsamic vinegar until syrupy.
