Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 fresh peaches, firm but ripe, sliced in halves
  • 1 ball burrata cheese (68 oz / 170225 g)
  • 46 thin slices prosciutto
  • 4 cups mixed greens (arugula or baby spinach)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 12 tablespoons (1530 ml) honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A squeeze of lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry peaches. Slice each in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place peaches cut side down and grill 3-4 minutes until caramelized. Flip and grill another 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey or brown sugar. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and coats the back of a spoon (8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, toss mixed greens with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice if using, salt, and pepper. Arrange greens on a serving platter.
  5. Tear burrata into large chunks and scatter over greens. Arrange grilled peach halves on top, cut side up. Drape prosciutto slices around the salad. Sprinkle torn basil leaves.
  6. Drizzle cooled balsamic reduction evenly over salad. Add a light drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a hot grill or grill pan for best caramelization. Stir balsamic reduction frequently to avoid burning. Tear burrata by hand to preserve creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving for best texture. Balsamic reduction can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated.
