  • Author: Harper Callahan
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Description

This isn’t just a salad—it’s summer served on your favorite platter. Sweet grilled peaches meet creamy mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and salty prosciutto, all drizzled with a balsamic glaze that ties it together like a sunset in sauce form. It’s fast, fresh, and guaranteed to be the dish everyone talks about. Let’s make your patio feel like Tuscany!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large peach, halved & pitted

  • 1 large heirloom tomato, sliced

  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, torn (or burrata)

  • 68 slices prosciutto, cut into strips

  • 2 handfuls arugula

  • Handful of mint leaves, torn

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 tbsp balsamic reduction (store-bought or homemade)

  • Salt & fresh pepper to taste


Instructions

  • Grill Peaches: Brush with olive oil. Grill cut-side down 3–4 mins until charred. Let cool slightly, then slice.

  • Build the Salad: Spread arugula on a platter. Layer tomato, peach, mozzarella, and prosciutto.

  • Dress It Up: Drizzle with olive oil, then balsamic reduction. Sprinkle with mint, flaky salt, and cracked pepper.

  • Serve Immediately while peaches are warm and cheese is soft.

Notes

  • Firm peaches grill best!

  • No grill? Use a hot cast-iron pan or broil.

  • Mint gives it zing—swap for basil if you prefer classic.
