→ Lemon Herb Vinaigrette
11 -
Freshly ground black pepper, use however much you like
12 -
Pinch of salt
13 -
0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
14 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon thyme leaves
15 -
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped up
16 -
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped up
17 -
1 tablespoon lemon zest
18 -
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
19 -
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Lay prosciutto, torn burrata, and your grilled nectarines over the salad. Toss on some fresh herbs if you've got 'em, shake a little finishing salt and more black pepper on top. Dish up right away alongside thick slices of grilled baguette.
02 -
Grab a big bowl. Gently mix in your baby greens, the tomato pieces—both cherry and heirloom—and the cherries. Pour on some vinaigrette and toss everything so it's all nicely covered.
03 -
Dump the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, oregano, mint, thyme, extra virgin olive oil, pinch of salt, and a bit of pepper into a small bowl. Whisk fast until it comes together and looks creamy. Put it aside for now.
04 -
Pop the nectarine wedges on your hot grill or grill pan. Give each side a couple minutes—just enough for deep grill marks and for them to get a little soft. Let them cool off before using.
05 -
Turn your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high. Slice the nectarine quarters even thinner (into eighths) then brush them lightly with olive oil so they won’t stick.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Grill the nectarines until they’re a bit soft but don’t let them fall apart—this keeps them tasty and pretty.
02 -
Pull apart the burrata with your hands so you don’t end up with a soggy salad from too much liquid.
