This summer salad is perfect for warm days when you crave something light yet satisfying. The sweetness of grilled nectarines pairs beautifully with creamy burrata cheese, savory turkey ham, and fresh greens.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or a spring mix)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
2 ripe nectarines, pitted and cut into wedges
8 ounces turkey ham, sliced
8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, chopped basil, and mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the nectarine wedges with olive oil. Grill the nectarines for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
On the same grill, place the turkey ham slices for about 1-2 minutes on each side until heated through.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss lightly.
Top the salad with the grilled nectarines and turkey ham. Gently add the torn burrata cheese on top.
Drizzle the fresh herb vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
