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 tomatoes, sliced (heirloom recommended)
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
  • 3 – 4 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (a handful)
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dressing: Whisk together all dressing ingredients—olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt—until fully emulsified so the oil is incorporated evenly. Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously.
  2. Assemble Salad: Toss the baby arugula with one-third of the dressing in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread the dressed arugula across the bottom of a large serving platter or plate.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Arrange sliced tomatoes and peaches generously over the arugula. Continue layering with toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves to build texture and flavor.
  4. Add Burrata: Cut open the burrata cheese and place dollops on top of the salad to add creamy richness.
  5. Serve: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired. Enjoy this fresh, flavorful salad immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness.
  • Heirloom tomatoes provide a sweeter, more complex flavor but any ripe tomato works.
  • To toast pine nuts, lightly heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Burrata should be fresh and served cold for best creaminess.
  • This salad is best eaten immediately to preserve the texture and freshness.
