Grilled Apricot Salad Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Not long ago, on a social network, I saw a grilled apricot salad recipe, after which it seemed to rain in my mouth. Now I’ll show you how I made, step by step, this delicious salad with mozzarella and prosciutto.

The recipe was from a book by Jamie Oliver ( Jamie Cooks Italy ) and was presented by his friend, Gennaro Contaldo, in this video recipe. I will make this salad slightly modified, meaning I will add some more ingredients, such as avocado and olives.

Let’s Start With the Ingredients

The first ingredient I used that reminded me of the recipe is apricots, which I saw on the market and bought about 500 g (8 pieces). Look to buy naturally ripe apricots (it is best to make a recipe in their season), which are sweet and flavorful.

But just as well, you can try peaches, which are just as tasty, so you get a peach salad.

The recipe also contains one gem of lettuce, about 50 g of prosciutto ( Parma ham ) and a mozzarella ball of about 125 g.

And of course, I also used a medium-sized red onion, but also one avocado and about 100 g (a handful) of green and black olives, without seeds.

How to Make the Grilled Apricot Salad?

First, wash the apricots, cut them in half, and remove the seeds.

On top, I spread some thyme leaves, which I broke from about three branches, and sprinkled them with extra virgin olive oil.

Heat a grill pan where we place the apricots in turn, with the cut side down.

Fry for about a minute or two, depending on how hot the pan is, then turn them on the other side.

We fry them on the other side for about a minute, and that’s it; we can stop the fire.

Prepare the Onion

I cleaned the onion and sliced it as thin as I could. I like the taste of the onion to be more delicate in the salad.

We put the sliced onion in a bowl, over which we pour about three tablespoons of grape vinegar (or whatever you have) and let it soak for a few minutes.

Assemble the Grilled Apricot Salad With Prosciutto

I mounted the salad in a glass bowl, which can be placed directly on a larger plate. I’ll put the ingredients in layers and start with the lettuce.

I detached the salad into pieces, washed the leaves and placed them on the bottom of the pot.

Season the salad with sea salt, freshly ground pepper and two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and then we place the grilled apricots on them.

Next comes the avocado, which I also sliced, and placed the slices over the apricots.

I the ball of mozzarella, I broke it into pieces and placed it over the avocado and apricot. Over this, I put the onion, which I squeezed with vinegar.

Season with freshly ground pepper and a little olive oil.

We are approaching the end, and we will place the slices of prosciutto nicely.

Just looking at salad gave me hunger pangs I'm food fan and I wish I was that good at being a cook. The way you explained how to make it is so simple but I'm sure I would make a great mess and in 100% sure it wouldn't take me way more than 15 kinutes maybe 30 or so because I'm super slow. Will definitely try this even though it wouldn't look as good as yours, I like this.
