# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice nectarine quarters into eighths and lightly brush with a small amount of olive oil.
02 -
Arrange nectarine slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until distinct grill marks appear and fruit is slightly softened. Remove and allow to cool.
03 -
In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together lemon juice, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, oregano, mint, lemon thyme, extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper until emulsified. Set aside.
04 -
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the baby greens, cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomato segments, and cherries with the vinaigrette until evenly coated.
05 -
Top the salad mixture with grilled nectarines, torn burrata cheese, and prosciutto slices. Sprinkle with any remaining fresh herbs, finishing salt, and additional black pepper. Serve immediately with grilled baguette on the side.
# Important Notes:
01 -
For optimal texture, grill nectarines just until softened but still holding their shape.
02 -
Tear burrata gently by hand to avoid excess moisture release onto the salad.
