I am in LOVE with this summer salad: stone fruit, burrata and prosciutto salad with a creamy balsamic dressing! Assorted stone fruit, like peaches, nectarines and plums are tossed with greens, burrata, prosciutto and fresh picked basil with a creamy balsamic dressing. If you’re looking another summer side salad, you’ll love our Caprese Salad with a Honey Cilantro Lime Dressing.
This dressing is inspired by my Uncle Ira – in our family, we call this creamy balsamic the “good dressing”. We pretty much can have it by the spoonful. This balsamic dressing recipe is inspired by his famous version!

Ingredients You Need For Your Prosciutto Salad Recipe
Stone fruit: Fresh peaches, plums and nectarines!
For the salad: Assorted greens like arugula, baby spinach, or mesclun, or you can use fresh basil here in place of greens, proscuitto di parma, burrata cheese (or fresh mozzarella works too!), kosher salt and black pepper.
You can use any summer fruit/stone fruit on hand and available to you. Other fruit additions that can work could be any type of pluot and apricots as well. (Cherries would be wonderful here as well!)

For some extra additional add-on in the dressing, you can add minced garlic, or some red pepper flakes for some heat if you prefer.
