Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 6 to 8 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush peach halves lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  3. Flip peaches and grill skin side for another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay prosciutto slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wire rack.
  5. Bake prosciutto for 8-10 minutes until crisp but not burnt. Remove and let cool on paper towels.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens with half the dressing. Arrange greens on a serving platter or individual plates.
  8. Slice grilled peaches into wedges and scatter over greens.
  9. Tear burrata into chunks and place on top of peaches and greens.
  10. Break crispy prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle over salad.
  11. Drizzle remaining dressing over the salad. Garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves if using.
  12. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and prosciutto is crispy.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. Watch prosciutto closely while baking to avoid burning. Lightly oil grill grates or pan to prevent peaches from sticking. Grilling peaches over medium-high heat yields perfect caramelization without charring.
