Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the nectarines: Slice nectarines in half, remove pits, and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Grill the nectarines: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill nectarines for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly charred and caramelized.
- Make the dressing: Whisk olive oil, balsamic glaze, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together until smooth.
- Assemble the salad: Arrange arugula on a serving platter. Add grilled nectarines, burrata, prosciutto, tomatoes, basil, and toasted nuts.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle with balsamic dressing and extra glaze. Serve immediately while the nectarines are warm and the burrata is creamy.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm nectarines for grilling. Burrata is best served at room temperature for the creamiest texture. This salad is ideal for entertaining and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, seafood, or crusty bread.
