A fresh and elegant salad combining smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and a sweet-tangy honey balsamic dressing. Perfect for quick summer meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe but firm peaches, halved or cut into ¾-inch thick wedges, pitted
  • 1 ball fresh burrata cheese (substitute fresh mozzarella if unavailable)
  • 46 thin slices prosciutto (can substitute serrano ham or crispy pancetta)
  • 2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches. Slice into halves or thick wedges about ¾-inch thick and remove pits.
  2. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Lightly brush peach slices with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but remain firm.
  5. Flip peaches and grill for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool briefly.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until emulsified. Adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
  7. On a large platter or salad bowl, arrange fresh basil leaves as a bed.
  8. Tear or slice burrata cheese and scatter over the basil.
  9. Arrange grilled peaches on top of the burrata.
  10. Drape prosciutto slices around and over the peaches and cheese.
  11. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing evenly over the salad.
  12. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt if using.
  13. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and burrata to soften.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to hold shape on the grill. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling for best creaminess. Lightly oil grill grates or pan to prevent sticking. Tear burrata instead of slicing to preserve creamy center. Dressing can be made ahead and whisked again before serving. Store components separately for leftovers.
