Grilled Nectarine Burrata Prosciutto Salad

Grilled Nectarine Heaven Salad – Yes, Please!

Ever just want to dive into summer on a plate? I mean, who doesn’t crave that perfect blend of sweet and savory? Yeah, I’m talking about grilled nectarines, prosciutto, and a whole lotta burrata magic. Seriously, this salad is like a party in your mouth — no joke!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: you’re at the grocery store, right? And the nectarines are just sitting there, all juicy and inviting. You grab, like, four because you know you need them for this salad. Don’t skip on the burrata! If you can find it fresh — grab it! It’s like creamy goodness that just melts in your mouth. Oh, and the prosciutto? A must-have. I mean, who can resist that salty goodness?

Also, I usually snag some heirloom tomatoes (because they look fancy) and those cute little cherry tomatoes that are just begging to be in this salad. Oh! And don’t forget the fresh herbs. They totally elevate the whole vibe.

Here’s your list for shopping:
– 4 nectarines (pitted & quartered)
– 8 oz burrata (torn into pieces)
– 8 slices prosciutto
– 4 oz cherry tomatoes (halved)
– 2 heirloom tomatoes (halved & cut into eighths)
– 1/2 cup fresh cherries (pitted & halved)
– 1/2 cup mixed baby spring greens
– Grilled baguette (for that crunch)
– 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
– 1 tbsp white apple vinegar
– 1 tbsp lemon zest
– Fresh herbs (oregano, mint, lemon thyme)
– Olive oil & some salt/pepper for seasoning

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so picture this: last summer, my friends and I threw this impromptu BBQ, right? I thought, “What’s something fresh and easy?” and BOOM, I remembered this salad! Made it, and OMG, it was gone in like 10 minutes. Everyone was raving! I swear, the juicy nectarines and creamy burrata had folks coming back for seconds (and thirds). It felt like summer in a bowl, and it just reminded me of those lazy days hanging out with friends. So now, it’s like a summer tradition for us. Plus, it’s super quick to whip up, and I love that!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up: grilling the nectarines is where the magic happens. I know, it sounds simple, but trust me! Just brush ‘em with a little olive oil and toss ‘em on the grill for a few minutes until they get those gorgeous grill marks. You want them to caramelize a bit — it brings out the sweetness and makes them extra delicious. Don’t rush it! Seriously, those grill marks are so worth it.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Don’t overcook the nectarines: You want ‘em soft but still holding their shape. If they turn to mush, it ain’t cute.
– If you can’t find burrata, just use fresh mozzarella. It’s not the same, but still delish.
– Vinaigrette is your friend: Make sure it’s well-mixed. Giving it a good whisk in a bowl is key! And like, taste it. You want it to be zesty but balanced.
– Serving tip: Serve the salad immediately after you toss it. Wilted greens are not the vibe.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Honestly? This salad is best fresh. But if you have leftovers (good luck with that), keep the components separate. Store the greens and the vinaigrette in one container, and then the fruit and cheese in another. Just toss them together when you’re ready to eat. It’ll last a day or two in the fridge, but like, who are we kidding?
