By tiatina

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds apricots, halved and pitted
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
• Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 small head radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
• 5 ounces baby arugula
• 1/2 pound burrata cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces shaved country ham
• 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the apricots with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat, cut sides down, just until lightly charred, 5 minutes. Let cool.
In a bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the 1/4 cup of oil and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss in the apricots, radicchio and arugula. Transfer to a platter and top with the burrata, ham and vinegar. Serve.

Depending on the season, Travis Lett also makes this salad with plums, peaches and pears.
