Ingredients
Scale
- 4 nectarines, pitted and quartered
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 4 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, halved and cut into eighths
- 1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup mixed baby spring greens
- Finishing salt, fresh ground black pepper
- Grilled baguette, for serving
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, roughly minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, roughly minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon thyme leaves
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of salt, fresh ground black pepper as desired
Instructions
- Prep Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil.
- Prepare the Nectarines: Slice the nectarines in half, remove the pit, and then quarter them. Toss the quarters in a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper.
- Grill the Nectarines: Place the nectarines on the grill, cut-side down, and grill for about 2-3 minutes or until char marks appear. Flip and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Make the Dressing: In a bowl, combine lemon juice, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, and minced herbs. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, mix the grilled nectarines, cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and halved cherries with baby greens. Add torn burrata and drape the prosciutto over the top.
- Drizzle with Dressing: Gently toss everything together with dressing, careful not to break apart the burrata too much.
- Serve with Grilled Baguette: Slice and grill baguette until golden, and serve alongside the salad.
- Final Touches: Finish with a sprinkle of finishing salt and extra black pepper.
Notes
Consider adding a balsamic reduction for extra flavor or using grilled peaches as a substitute for nectarines.
