Hey hey heeey, friends!
Happy Monday!?
⬆️ I always want to say that with a chipper inflection in my voice, but for some reason it invariably comes out more like a question. Even in my head.
Anyone else have that problem when it comes to the words happy + Monday?
Those two words just seem ill fitting. Kind of like me and high waisted jeans. But, that’s an entirely different story for another day. 😆
Annnnywho. Before we get to today’s recipe, which is some seriously scrumptious salad action, I wanted to address something real quick.
I have been having minor issues with this here blog, so if you have been leaving a comment, or paying me a visit super early Monday or Thursday morning for your regularly scheduled posts, and haven’t been seeing it (the comments or the post), do not fret!
Your comments are there, and the newest posts are there, but I’m having to clear the cache on my end before things are visible.
Layman’s terms – I’m having technical problems over here at NSN*. If you could bear with me, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
Now that we have my anxiety inducing I.T. issues covered, let’s eat! (<– I’m an emotional eater. Don’t judge.)
*There is a very good reason for my technical issues on this blog. Stay tuned and you will see why! 😘
Burrata Grilled Peach Salad
..with raspberries, prosciutto and a honey-balsamic vinaigrette
Juicy, plump, smoky charred slices of peaches, pops of sweet, sour raspberries, pungent shallots, fresh mint and aromatic basil tossed with peppery arugula and topped off with creamy, rich burrata, crunchy almonds and salty, meaty prosciutto.
Gah. This salad is SO SO GOOD. Like, slap yo’ mama good. But, minus all the violence. (<– Anyone else confused by that saying??)
But, it doesn’t stop there.
Finish the salad off with a healthy glug of luscious, smooth, tart, silk vinaigrette kissed with a touch of raspberry flavor.
OMGeeee, it’s HEAVEN, y’all.
Sweet and savory scrumptious summer salad heavenly noms for your FACE.
Notes, Tips & Tricks for the best summer Burrata Grilled Peach Salad recipe:
- You can either halve, quarter or slice the peaches before grilling them. It is completely up to you and your personal preference. I tend to slice my peaches because it makes for less work when you are hungry and just want to devour this salad.
- The amount of time needed to grill the peaches will also depend on your personal preference. If you like a deep char, grill the peaches for 5+ minutes on the cut side(s). For a lighter char, grill for about 3-4 minutes on the cut side(s).
- If your peaches are sticking to the grill, use a metal fish spatula to help gently lift and flip (or remove) them from the grill.
- You can use regular balsamic vinegar in the dressing, but I highly recommend using raspberry flavored balsamic if you have it or can find it. I use this one. The raspberry kissed vinegar does wonders for the dressing!
- I suggest using arugula as the greens in this Burrata Grilled Peach Salad, because their spicy, peppery flavor mesh well with the fruit, burrata and prosciutto. However, you can absolutely substitute mixed baby greens, watercress or radicchio if you would like.
- I eat this salad as an entree, but it would also make a great side. The recipe as written below will yield 2 entree sized salads, or 4 side salads.
Fresh, fabulous and full of flavor, this Burrata Grilled Peach Salad is light and healthy with a touch of decadence. Get this seriously satisfying summer salad in your life. Pinkie promise even the meat and potato enthusiasts will love this!
Until Thursday, friends, cheers – to stellar salads.
XOXO

Oh how I hate technical problems AND high waisted jean, lol! But this salad – love at first sight (wish it was bite!) You know I’ll have to try this immediately. Grilled peaches and creamy burrata and salty prosciutto and raspberries oh my….
What a gorgeous summer salad! It looks SO scrumptious! Sweet, savory, crunchy… this salad has it all!
Mmmmm….grilled peaches in salad just sounds like perfection with all the extras!! Laughing over the slap yo mama over here! hahaha!
This right here is one of my kind of salads, packed with goodies and so beautiful. I want to reach into my iMac and grab a peach now!
I’m OBSESSED with grilled peaches, so I’m all about this salad, Cheyanne! I’ve gotta run out and grab more peaches so I can make this ASAP. I also need to convince my hubs that it’s OK to eat a salad for dinner 😉 Thanks for the heads up on the technical issues! Last week when I was trying to comment I was having issues typing the comment (the typing and text appearing was SUPER slow, but found out that was on my end!) and then it wouldn’t appear when I submitted. Technical issues are SO frustrating! Hope it all gets resolved soon! Have a great week 🙂
A lovely salad! This would be perfect for a summertime brunch. We have recently procured about 20 pounds of peaches and are trying to work our way through them. We may be eating this salad for dinner!
Mondays are the worst! Especially after a week long beach vacation! I’m also equally confused about slapping my mama and high waisted jeans. I am not the least bit confused about grilled peaches and burrata! This salad is everything summer and I want to eat it until the pumpkins come! P.S. Sorry for your technical troubles, Chey!
I’ve never grilled a peach but I’m down to try it. This salad looks amazeballs! The burrito makes me soooooo happy. Loving your honey balsamic vinaigrette 🙂
Technical issues—Ugggh! It is so stress-including! I hope you get it resolved soon. I can eat this delightful salad for dinner every night this week! It has everything to make me happy: sweet, salty, peppery, tang, and textures. I had a no-frills salad for dinner tonight and didn’t enjoy it half as much as I would have enjoyed this one!
I’m sorry about your technical issues but it sounds like something exciting is happening behind the scenes…can’t wait to hear why! You always make the prettiest salads and this one is no exception. I love the grilled peaches and those prosciutto roses! Burrata makes everything better and I need to add this to my meal plan!
How gorgeous is this salad?! Grilled peaches are an absolute summer must, and I’m loving that you combined it into a salad with burrata…only one of the best cheeses! I could seriously eat salads just about every day, so I’ve got to add this deliciousness to the list. Pinned! Hope your week is off to a great start!
I absolutely LOVE this salad Chey! And I’ve got a few leftover peaches that need to be used up! This screams summer and is happening for tomorrow’s lunch with girlfriends! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Hope you have a great week!
Summer on a plate, Chey. Those grilled peaches look so amazing and bet the salad tastes very delicious.
Yes, I do see the problem when it comes to “happy Monday”. There’s only one thing which sounds even worse. “Good morning”. On Monday. Because the words “good morning” at 5 or so a.m. don’t make any sense to me. If it’s Monday, I consider them as an attempt to make fun of me. Grrr. Anyway, this salad looks amazing dear Chey! And you know me – I won’t lie when we talk about salads. Seriously, this one looks as great as my salads (haha I’m a humble person, remember?) or even better. Happy Monday you too.
Burrata is basically my life this summer. I totally don’t get the whole slap your mama thing–I wouldn’t slap my mom if something were bad, let alone if something is delicious! The English language is such a mystery. . . Tech issues SUCK! But I’m excited to find out why you’re having them :). Have a great week, Chey!
Beautiful! I love grilled peaches and can’t imagine a better combination than burrata and prosciutto. My kind of dinner salad 🙂
You know I love me a salad and especially one that’s loaded with goodies! This totally fits the bill and is just screaming out all the summer vibes too! I’ve been stocking up on peaches so I’m gonna have to get some on the grill ASAP and make this yumminess! Pinned! Have a great week my friend!
August on a plate, right here!! You manage to capture the essence of a season in every dish you share, and you do it so seamlessly! I love everything about this! From its appearance to its flavors! Brava! Have a great week, lady! Cheers! XOXO
I just want to drop right through my screen a take that bowl right for maself! You have all of my favourite things jam packed together and that prosciutto looks like little delicious flowers…I’ll take a bouquet of those any day, lol! Good luck with your technical issues; those suck, but I’m sure it will be all worth it…..and, looking on the bright side of things, maybe your learning a thing or two? Too much? P.S. I’m pretty sure I can eat burrata like an apple. So good!!! P.P.S. High waisted jeans?? No thank you. I will happily pass; they scare me 😀 Have a great week, girlie! xo
