This gorgeous grilled peach, tomato and burrata salad is loaded with colour, texture and summery flavours. It takes 10 minutes to make, looks super impressive and is wonderful for special occasions or for a quick weeknight meal.

This gorgeous salad screams summer on a plate. It’s a bit of a twist on a Caprese salad – sweet, salty, and creamy but still fresh and light. Grilling the peaches intensifies their natural sweetness and makes them even more delicious. Add juicy, ripe tomatoes, salty prosciutto, ultra-creamy burrata and herby pesto and you’ve got a quick, easy, super impressive salad that’s perfect for entertaining. All you have to do is slice a few ingredients and arrange them on a plate!
It’s wonderful served alongside a summer barbecue spread or is great as a light lunch. I love serving it with fresh bread and loading the salad on top to create the most delicious bruschetta.
Ingredients
Only a handful of ingredients go into this salad – and there are a few easy switches you can make if you can’t find something.

- Peaches. You could use nectarines, apricots, plums or even strawberries here – just a firm, sweet fruit to contrast with the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Tomatoes. I’m actually using a variety of different tomatoes from my mum’s garden here – l love the colours! Try to use a mix of large and cherry tomatoes if you can, just for a bit of variation.
- Burrata. This creamy ball of deliciousness takes this salad to a gorgeously indulgent level. It’s similar to mozzarella, but with a very creamy stracciatella centre. It sort of melts into the salad to create a super creamy element and is so delicious with the flavours here. If you can’t find it, you could just use a regular ball of mozzarella, crumble over some feta or top it with grilled halloumi slices.
- Prosciutto. Salty, fine prosciutto adds a lovely flavour and textural element to this salad, but you could leave it off for a vegetarian version, or use grilled tofu. You could also use bacon or roasted ham.
- Pesto. Try to use a good quality fresh pesto (or make my easy homemade basil pesto) for the best flavour.
How to make it
Chop your tomatoes into wedges, then cut your peaches in half, remove the stone and cut each half into wedges. Lightly oil a griddle pan (or just use a regular frying pan) and grill the peaches for a couple of minutes on each side, until they get lovely charred grill marks.


Arrange the tomatoes and peaches on a large serving dish, then nestle the prosciutto pieces in between. Tear your burrata and scatter little pieces of it all over the salad. Finish with dollops of the pesto, a drizzle of olive oil, a good grind of salt and pepper and a few torn basil leaves.




Four things to serve with this salad




Got a question?
They need to be firm enough so that they don’t fall apart on the grill or pan – but they don’t have to be SUPER ripe. Grilling will bring out their natural sweetness and enhance the flavour, so if they’re not quite ripe it will be perfectly fine.
You can use a lightly oiled griddle pan or just a regular frying pan. You won’t get the grill marks with a frying pan – but you’ll get the flavour. You could also use a grill rack under your broiler (grill) in the oven at the highest temperature for a couple of minutes to try to mimic the grill marks.
You could just use a ball of mozzarella, or you could use feta or grilled halloumi.
There’s no need to peel them!

Ingredients
- 3 peaches, ripe but still firm
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 ripe tomatoes
- 200g cherry tomatoes
- 5 slices prosciutto
- 1 ball of burrata
- 2 tablespoons pesto (try making my easy homemade basil pesto)
- A handful of fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes and peaches. Slice the tomatoes into wedges, halve the peaches, and then remove the stones. Slice each peach half into wedges too.
- Grill the peaches. Lightly oil a grill, griddle pan or regular frying pan, then place the peach wedges onto your pan. Grill for a couple of minutes on each side, until lovely charred marks form. Remove from the pan.
- Assemble the salad. Arrange the tomatoes and grilled peaches on a large serving platter, then nestle the prosciutto slices in between. Tear the burrata into pieces, then dollop them all over the salad. Finish by sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the tomatoes, then drizzle the 2 tablespoons of pesto evenly all over the salad, scatter over the fresh basil leaves and a give it a good grind of black pepper. Serve right away, with fresh bread on the side if you like.
Notes
Substitutions: Use nectarines, plums, apricots or even strawberries in place of peaches. Switch the burrata for mozzarella, feta or grilled halloumi, swap the prosciutto for grilled tofu for a vegetarian version, or switch it out for grilled bacon or roasted ham.
Prep ahead: This salad is really best made and served at the same time, though any leftovers are wonderful piled onto crispy bread to make bruschetta.
Don’t have a grill or griddle pan? You can use a regular frying pan to char the peaches, or you can place them on a wire rack right at the top of your oven, underneath the broiler (grill). Turn your oven to its highest temperature for a couple of minutes and this will give you a lovely char.
