Ingredients

Scale

Dressing

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Salad

  • 5 ounces baby arugula
  • 2–3 peaches, sliced
  • 2 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
  • 3 – 4 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (a handful)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt until the mixture is emulsified, meaning the oil is fully incorporated and no longer separates. Alternatively, place all dressing ingredients into a jar with a lid and shake vigorously until combined.
  2. Assemble Salad: Add the baby arugula to a large bowl and toss it with about one-third of the dressing to lightly coat the greens.
  3. Arrange Greens: Transfer the dressed arugula onto the bottom of a large serving platter or plate to create the base layer of the salad.
  4. Layer Fruit and Nuts: Beginning over the arugula, layer the sliced heirloom tomatoes and peaches evenly. Then sprinkle the toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves on top for added texture and flavor.
  5. Add Burrata: Cut open the balls of burrata cheese and gently dollop pieces across the top of the salad to add a rich, creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Just before serving, drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for individual preference. Enjoy this fresh, colorful salad immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid them becoming mushy in the salad.
  • To toast pine nuts, heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Burrata is best served fresh and at room temperature for the creamiest texture.
  • This salad is best enjoyed immediately but can be prepped ahead by keeping ingredients separate until serving.
  • Feel free to substitute heirloom tomatoes with cherry tomatoes if desired.
