A delightful summer salad featuring grilled peaches, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, and a tangy balsamic glaze. This accidental creation has become a crowd-pleaser, ready in just 15 minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 ounces prosciutto, torn into pieces (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes. Slice peaches in half, remove pits, and cut each half into wedges (about 8 wedges per peach).
  2. Brush the cut sides of the peaches lightly with olive oil and season with a tiny pinch of salt.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until deep grill marks appear. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the skin side until tender but still holding shape.
  4. While peaches grill, arrange arugula on a large serving platter. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt, then toss gently.
  5. Tear burrata into pieces and arrange over the arugula. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before tearing if very cold.
  6. Arrange grilled peaches over the arugula and burrata. Scatter torn basil leaves and toasted pine nuts on top. Add prosciutto if using.
  7. Drizzle everything with balsamic glaze and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t over-grill the peaches; they should hold their shape. Let burrata come to room temperature for best texture. Toast pine nuts in a dry pan until golden. Season in layers for balanced flavor. Best served immediately.
