Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Wash and slice the nectarines in half, removing the pits. Lightly brush each cut side with olive oil.
  2. Place the nectarines cut-side down on the grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear, then flip them over and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, white wine vinegar, lemon zest, and fresh herbs. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine mixed baby greens, cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and cherries. Pour the vinaigrette over and gently toss to coat the ingredients.
  5. Tear burrata into pieces and add to the salad. Top with slices of prosciutto for contrast and elegant presentation.
  6. Finish the salad with freshly ground black pepper and a touch of finishing salt. Serve with toasted baguette slices brushed with olive oil if desired.
