Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm nectarines, pitted and quartered
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • 8 slices prosciutto, arranged loosely
  • 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 and freshly ground black pepper
  • Grilled baguette slices, 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 and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice nectarine quarters into eighths, brush lightly with olive oil.
  2. Grill nectarine slices 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly softened. Remove and let cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, vinegar, and zest. Add minced oregano, mint, and thyme. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Arrange spring greens on a platter. Scatter cherry and heirloom tomatoes across greens.
  5. Add halved cherries, then grilled nectarines throughout the salad.
  6. Tear burrata into chunks and nestle around salad. Drape prosciutto slices loosely on top.
  7. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad. Sprinkle with additional herbs, finishing salt, and black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately with grilled baguette slices on the side.

Notes

For best flavor, serve the salad immediately while nectarines are warm and burrata is creamy. Burrata can be substituted with mozzarella or ricotta. Try adding toasted nuts or a balsamic drizzle for extra depth.
