Print Recipe

A light and elegant summer salad combining sweet peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and tangy balsamic glaze for a refreshing and satisfying dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced (firm but fragrant)
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh burrata, drained
  • 6–8 thin slices prosciutto di Parma
  • 4 cups (about 120g) mixed baby arugula and spinach greens
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and gently dry the peaches. Slice into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick wedges, aiming for uniform thickness. (About 10 minutes)
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. (5 minutes)
  3. Place mixed greens in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil dressing over and toss gently to coat. (2 minutes)
  4. On a large serving platter or individual plates, lay down the dressed greens as a base. Arrange peach slices evenly on top. Tear burrata into chunks and distribute gently among the peaches. (5 minutes)
  5. Tear or fold prosciutto slices into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the salad. (3 minutes)
  6. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the salad. Drizzle balsamic glaze evenly across the dish. (3 minutes)
  7. Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. (1 minute)

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Drain burrata well to prevent sogginess. Handle burrata gently to keep its creamy texture. If making balsamic glaze at home, simmer balsamic vinegar until syrupy. Assemble salad just before serving for best freshness. Variations include vegetarian (omit prosciutto, add nuts), dairy-free (use cashew cheese), or grilled peaches for smoky flavor.
