Instructions
- Prepare the balsamic glaze (if making from scratch): Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until the liquid coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool and thicken.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the cut sides of the nectarine halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Grill the nectarines cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until distinct grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly softened and caramelized. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
- Assemble the salad base: In a large bowl, gently toss the arugula with a small drizzle of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Arrange the dressed arugula on a serving platter. Artfully distribute the grilled nectarine wedges and torn pieces of burrata over the greens.
- Drape the prosciutto slices artfully over the salad components. Drizzle the entire salad generously with the prepared balsamic glaze just before serving.
- Serve immediately while the nectarines are still slightly warm for the best contrast in temperature and texture.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, omit the prosciutto. A small handful of toasted pine nuts or chopped pistachios can be added for extra crunch and flavor.
