Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe but firm nectarines, sliced into wedges
- 8 oz burrata cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 cups arugula or baby greens
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh basil leaves, torn
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: toasted pine nuts for crunch
- Optional: flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the arugula or baby greens thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
- Slice each nectarine into 6 to 8 wedges, keeping the skin on.
- Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces; let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if a creamier texture is desired.
- Spread the arugula evenly on a serving plate or bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss gently.
- Layer nectarine wedges over the greens, then scatter burrata pieces evenly on top.
- Fold slices of prosciutto loosely and arrange around and over the salad.
- Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle across the salad.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze in a zigzag or circular pattern, add a final drizzle of olive oil if desired.
- Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
Notes
Keep components separate if prepping ahead and assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use firm but ripe nectarines for best texture. Tear burrata by hand for creaminess. Add balsamic glaze as a finishing drizzle to keep greens fresh.
