A quick and easy summer salad featuring juicy grilled peaches, creamy burrata cheese, and salty prosciutto, enhanced with fresh basil, honey, and olive oil for a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm fresh peaches, halved and sliced into 34 wedges each
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon for drizzling
  • 1 whole ball of burrata cheese
  • 68 thin slices of prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts
  • Optional: balsamic reduction for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice peaches in half, removing pits. Slice each half into 3–4 wedges about 1/2-inch thick.
  2. Toss peach slices gently in a mixing bowl with fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Let sit while heating the grill.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Lightly oil the grates or pan.
  4. Place peach slices cut-side down on the grill. Cook untouched for 3 minutes until grill marks appear and caramelization begins.
  5. Flip peaches carefully with tongs and grill the other side for 2 minutes until tender but not falling apart.
  6. On a large serving platter, tear burrata into chunks or leave whole. Arrange grilled peaches around and on top of the cheese.
  7. Drape prosciutto slices over the salad and scatter torn basil leaves on top.
  8. Drizzle salad with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and honey. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Optionally sprinkle toasted pine nuts or walnuts and drizzle balsamic reduction if desired.
  10. Serve immediately at room temperature for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent them from falling apart on the grill. Toss peaches with lemon juice and olive oil before grilling to prevent sticking and add brightness. Add honey and olive oil drizzle just before serving to keep textures fresh. Burrata should be chilled until just before serving. If no grill is available, a hot cast-iron skillet can be used to sear peaches.
