Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 oz (225g) fresh burrata cheese
  • 6 oz (170g) thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups (about 120g) fresh arugula leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction or glaze
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, slice each in half and remove the pit. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving to develop grill marks and caramelization.
  4. Flip peaches carefully using tongs and grill for another 2 minutes on the skin side to warm through.
  5. While peaches grill, combine arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and toss gently.
  6. Lay the arugula on a serving platter. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens.
  7. Arrange grilled peach halves on top, skin side down.
  8. Drape thin slices of prosciutto around and over the peaches and burrata.
  9. Tear fresh basil leaves over the salad, then drizzle with balsamic reduction or glaze.
  10. Add a few cracks of black pepper and flaky sea salt to taste.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, sear peaches in a hot skillet with butter, watching closely to avoid burning. Burrata should be served at room temperature for best flavor. Balsamic reduction can be made ahead and drizzled fresh before serving. Use firm, ripe peaches for best grilling results.
