I think I may actually have a reason to truly enjoy the season of summer now: grilled nectarine burrata prosciutto salad!
I'm not even a big prosciutto fan and I'm obsessed with this recipe. I could eat it pretty much every day for the rest of my life.
Also, if you lean more towards the meatless side of foodie, simply remove it and you've got a delicious vegetarian dish!
Reasons why this grilled nectarine burrata prosciutto salad is the best? I have a couple 😎.
One: It's appropriate for literally every meal of the day. Breakfast? Yup. Lunch? For sure. Dinner? Absolutely. Every snack in between? Definitely.
Two: Burrata. Essentially a mozzarella shell with a super creamy filling, it's the most heavenly cheese ever created. Pair it with grilled fruit, prosciutto, and a lemon herb vinaigrette drizzle? 😍.
