Heirloom tomatoes are one of the quintessential flavors of summer. These sweet cherry heirlooms pair perfectly with another summer classic, juicy peaches, which I’ve grilled and served alongside prosciutto and creamy burrata. This makes a quick and easy side to a larger meal, or as an impressive centerpiece for a casual cheeseboard. Pairs well with a chilled Sauvignon Blanc or white sangria.
Heirloom Grape Tomato Salad with Grilled Peaches, Burrata and Prosciutto
Ingredients
2 peaches, halved
1-pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
1 large burrata
4 oz. prosciutto
1/2 cup fresh basil, torn
White Balsamic Vinaigrette
Ingredients
3 T. White balsamic vinegar
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Preheat your grill to medium-high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the peaches flesh side down for 3 minutes. Do not move them around or they won’t char. Arrange peach slices on a platter with the tomatoes, burrata, and prosciutto. Sprinkle with fresh basil and set aside. For the vinaigrette, whisk all four ingredients together and drizzle on top of the salad and serve immediately.
