Grilled Peach, Chicken, Burrata & Prosciutto Salad

I made this after a mid-morning gym session when I was absolutely starving and wanted something quick, fresh and filling.

I always keep a tin of peaches in the cupboard and lightly grilling them is one of my favourite little kitchen tricks. It caramelises their natural sugars, bringing out their sweetness and giving them a wonderfully rich flavour. They're a brilliant, budget-friendly alternative when fresh peaches aren't in season.

Paired with creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, shredded chicken and crunchy walnuts, then finished with plenty of fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, you've got a colourful, protein-packed lunch that's every bit as delicious as it looks.

Don't overlook tinned peaches. I always keep a tin in the cupboard and, once lightly grilled, they caramelise beautifully and make a brilliant stand-in when fresh peaches aren't in season.
