Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 4 medium Nectarines Adds sweetness and juiciness; substitute peaches or plums for similar results.
  • 8 oz Burrata Cheese Provides a rich, creamy texture; mozzarella can work in a hurry, but burrata is best.
  • 4 oz Prosciutto Adds a salty, savory element; omit for a delightful vegetarian option.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Contributes freshness and tanginess; regular tomatoes can take their place if needed.
  • 1 cup Heirloom Tomatoes Offers varying flavors and colors, enhancing presentation; any ripe tomato can serve in a pinch.
  • 1 cup Fresh Cherries For added sweetness and texture; can be swapped with grapes or berries based on availability.
  • 5 oz Mixed Baby Spring Greens Provides a fresh base; spinach or arugula are fantastic alternatives.
  • to taste Finishing Salt & Black Pepper Enhances all flavors; use sea salt for a touch of elegance.
  • 1 loaf Grilled Baguette Serves as a crunchy side; gluten-free bread can be used for those with dietary needs.
For the Vinaigrette
  • 3 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice Adds acidity to brighten the dish; lime juice is an excellent substitute if desired.
  • 2 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar Provides tanginess; apple cider vinegar also works well as an alternative.
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest Enhances the citrus flavor; lime or orange zest can give a different twist if preferred.
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Oregano Adds aromatic depth; dried oregano can suffice in a pinch, but fresh is recommended.
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Mint Offers a refreshing note; basil could bring a lovely alternative flavor.
  • 1 tsp Fresh Lemon Thyme Leaves Infuses herbal flavor; use regular thyme if necessary but adjust the quantity.
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Acts as the base for the vinaigrette; avocado oil is a great substitute whenever needed.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients for efficient assembly.
  2. Slice the nectarines into quarters, removing the pits. Brush them with extra virgin olive oil, then grill cut-side down for 2-3 minutes, flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes until tender.
  3. Transfer the grilled nectarines to a plate and let them cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, oregano, mint, and lemon thyme. Gradually whisk in olive oil, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, layer mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced heirloom tomatoes, and fresh cherries. Pour the vinaigrette over and toss gently.
  6. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad. Layer with prosciutto slices, finishing with salt and cracked pepper.
  7. Serve the salad with sliced grilled baguette pieces.
