For the Salad:
2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
3 cups baby arugula (or mixed greens)

1. Grill the Peaches:
Brush peach halves with olive oil.
Grill on a hot grill or grill pan for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly charred and softened. Let cool slightly, then slice.
2. Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Salad:
On a serving platter or individual plates, lay down arugula.
Arrange grilled peach slices and torn burrata on top.
Drizzle with the honey-balsamic glaze.
Sprinkle pistachios and scatter fresh basil leaves.
Add prosciutto if using.
Tips
Use firm-ripe peaches for grilling — they hold up better.
For a vegan version, skip the burrata and use avocado slices or almond cheese.
Want more substance? Add grilled chicken or quinoa on the side.
