Salad Ingredients
4ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
8ozfresh Burrata cheese
4ozProsciutto di Parma
5cupsfresh arugula or mixed greens
3tbspextra virgin olive oil
2tbspbalsamic glaze or white balsamic vinegar
1tbsphoney
1/4cupshelled pistachios, chopped
1/4cupfresh basil and mint leaves, torn
1pinchFlaky sea salt (such as Maldon) to taste
1pinchFreshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Place the peach halves cut-side up in a roasting tin, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the honey, and roast for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and tender.
Spread the arugula or mixed greens evenly across a large, shallow serving platter.
Arrange the warm roasted peaches on top of the greens, making sure to drizzle any sweet pan juices over the salad.
Gently tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and nestle them around the peaches along with ribbons of prosciutto.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios, fresh basil, and fresh mint over the top.
Drizzle the entire salad with the remaining extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic glaze, then finish with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper before serving immediately.
For an off-season variation, you can easily use high-quality, canned peach halves (packed in juice, thoroughly drained) or thawed frozen peaches. Because roasting intensifies flavor, it can miraculously transform out-of-season fruit into a jammy delight.
