A fresh and indulgent summer salad combining sweet peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and a tangy balsamic honey drizzle. Perfect for light meals or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 ripe peaches, sliced (freestone varieties recommended)
  • 8 oz fresh burrata cheese
  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups baby arugula or mixed salad greens
  • 2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse peaches gently under cool water. Slice each peach into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick. Pat lightly with a paper towel if peaches are very juicy. (5 minutes)
  2. Place 4 cups of baby arugula or mixed greens into a large salad bowl or platter. Toss lightly with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. (2 minutes)
  3. Tear or cut the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces or strips. (2 minutes)
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon raw honey, and 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil until emulsified. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste. (3 minutes)
  5. Gently layer peach slices and prosciutto over the greens. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the top along with torn basil leaves if using. (3 minutes)
  6. Spoon the balsamic honey drizzle evenly over the salad. Finish with freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt to taste. (2 minutes)
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Let burrata sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before assembling for best texture. Prepare balsamic honey drizzle up to 3 days in advance and whisk before use. Assemble salad just before serving to keep greens crisp. For a warm variation, lightly grill peach slices for 1-2 minutes per side.
