Description
A delightful summer salad with sweet peaches, creamy burrata, and peppery arugula, dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 8 oz burrata cheese
- 4 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Greens: Place the arugula or your choice of mixed greens in a large mixing bowl. If they’re not pre-washed, gently rinse and dry them to remove any grit.
- Add the Peaches: Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Carefully add them to your bowl and toss gently to combine with the greens, being sure not to muddle the delicate peaches.
- Incorporate the Burrata: Tear the burrata into bite-sized pieces using your fingers. Scatter the creamy goodness over the tossed greens and peaches, allowing the creamy interior to peek out.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, ensuring every component is well-seasoned.
- Toss with Care: Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients, taking care not to break the burrata too much. The goal is to keep those rich, creamy pockets intact.
- Garnish and Serve: Scatter fresh basil leaves on top before serving. The vibrant green will not only catch the eye but add an aromatic touch that invites you in.
Notes
For best results, prepare components separately and combine just before serving to maintain freshness.
