A fresh and indulgent summer salad combining smoky grilled nectarines, creamy burrata, and salty prosciutto, perfect for quick meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or reduction
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F (205°C).
  2. Rinse nectarines, halve and pit them carefully. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
  3. Place nectarines cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes without moving to get grill marks.
  4. Flip nectarines and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding shape.
  5. While nectarines grill, toss arugula with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  6. Arrange dressed arugula on a serving platter or plates. Lay grilled nectarines over the greens.
  7. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter on top of the salad.
  8. Drape prosciutto slices over the salad.
  9. Drizzle balsamic glaze evenly over everything.
  10. Sprinkle torn basil leaves and toasted nuts if using.
  11. Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  12. Serve immediately while nectarines are warm and burrata is creamy.

Notes

Use medium-firm nectarines for best grilling results to avoid mushiness. Lightly oil grill and fruit to prevent sticking. Let burrata sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before assembling for creamier texture. Store grilled nectarines and salad components separately if prepping ahead.
