This grilled peach and burrata salad with balsamic glaze is a quick, easy, and impressive summer dish. Sweet, smoky grilled peaches pair perfectly with creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and peppery arugula, all finished with a tangy balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese (12 balls)
  • 46 slices prosciutto (about 3 ounces)
  • 4 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 23 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing peaches
  • Flaky sea salt (e.g., Maldon)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (400-450°F / 200-230°C).
  2. Wash peaches, cut in half around the pit, twist to separate, and remove pit. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Grill peaches cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and flesh softens. Flip and grill skin side for 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
  4. Arrange arugula on a large serving platter. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt. Toss gently.
  5. Tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and scatter over arugula.
  6. Place grilled peach halves on top of arugula and prosciutto, cut-side up.
  7. Tear or slice burrata into pieces and nestle among the peaches, exposing the creamy center.
  8. Drizzle everything with 2-3 tablespoons balsamic glaze.
  9. Finish with a final drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon), a generous pinch of flaky sea salt, and a crack of black pepper. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serve immediately for best contrast of warm peaches and cold burrata. If peaches are very ripe, use a grill basket to prevent them from falling apart. For a vegetarian version, omit prosciutto. Grilled peaches can be made up to 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.
