Burrata Peach Salad with Prosciutto (Print version)

Creamy burrata with ripe peaches, prosciutto and arugula, finished with olive oil and a balsamic glaze.

# What You Need:

→ Produce

01 - 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
02 - 3 cups arugula or mixed salad greens
03 - 1 small handful fresh basil leaves (about 1/2 cup loosely packed)

→ Dairy

04 - 2 burrata balls (3.5 oz each)

→ Meats

05 - 8 slices prosciutto

→ Pantry

06 - 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
07 - 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
08 - Flaky sea salt, to taste
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Make:

01 - Place the arugula or mixed salad greens in an even layer on a large serving platter.
02 - Scatter the sliced peaches and tuck the basil leaves evenly among the greens to create color and fragrance.
03 - Gently tear each burrata into large pieces and nestle them across the salad to retain creaminess.
04 - Drape the prosciutto slices around and over the burrata and peaches for balanced salt and texture.
05 - Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the components, then add the balsamic glaze in a thin ribbon to taste.
06 - Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning across the platter.
07 - Present at once so the burrata remains creamy and the peaches retain their fresh texture.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • The creaminess of burrata and the nectar-sweet peaches make every bite feel a little decadent yet effortless.
  • It’s the kind of salad that looks artful but comes together in minutes, rescuing you from the heat without skimping on flavor.
02 -
  • Soggy greens are the enemy—a salad spinner makes all the difference in keeping things crisp.
  • The first time I rushed the burrata straight from the fridge, it didn’t ooze attractively—room temp is everything.
03 -
  • Layer everything gently and avoid overdressing for a beautiful, not soggy, platter.
  • For true Italian flair, finish with a crack of pink peppercorns or a few edible flowers if you have them.
