How to Make Grilled Nectarine Burrata Prosciutto Salad (Overview)

Making this salad is a breeze! Start by grilling those nectarines to caramelize their natural sugars, creating an amazing smokiness. Then, layer everything like a pro!

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to let the cheese sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. It makes it extra creamy and spreadable!

How to Store Grilled Nectarine Burrata Prosciutto Salad

Got leftovers? No problem! This salad keeps well in the fridge for about 1-2 days without the arugula. Note that the longer it sits, the softer the burrata gets—still delicious, just different texture. For best results, keep the arugula separate until you’re ready to dig in.

Tips to Make Grilled Nectarine Burrata Prosciutto Salad

Choose ripe nectarines: A little give when you press them means better flavor!
If you can’t find burrata, mozzarella works in a pinch—just keep it fresh!
Want a kick? Switch the balsamic glaze for a spicy vinaigrette for some heat.
Don’t skip drizzling olive oil on the nectarines, it adds a depth of flavor when grilling.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding some grilled peaches instead of nectarines! Or, for a vegan spin, swap out the burrata for cashew cream and ditch the prosciutto in favor of marinated tofu. Experimentation can lead you to unexpected delights!

FAQs

Can I make this salad ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just grill the nectarines and prep everything else a few hours before serving. Keep the arugula and drizzles separate until serving.

What can I substitute for prosciutto?
You can use crispy bacon, smoked salmon, or even turkey slices if you prefer something lighter.

How do I pick the right nectarines?
Look for vibrant colors and a little softness when you squeeze—these will have the best flavor!
