Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 ball of burrata cheese
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds for crunch

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing and slicing the peaches into thin wedges. If the peaches are particularly firm, you can lightly toss them with a teaspoon of honey or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance their natural sweetness.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the arugula and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and gently toss to coat the greens evenly. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the arugula and basil mixture. Be sure to spread them out evenly for a beautiful presentation.
  4. Tear the burrata cheese into large chunks and place them gently over the peaches and greens. The creamy texture of the burrata will contrast beautifully with the crisp arugula and juicy peaches.
  5. Finish the salad by drizzling the balsamic glaze over the top. If you prefer a tangier flavor, you can also add a splash of balsamic vinegar before drizzling the glaze.
  6. For added texture, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds over the salad. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.

Notes

Opt for ripe but firm peaches. Burrata is delicate, so handle it gently to avoid breaking it apart too much. You can prepare the salad base ahead of time, but add the peaches and burrata just before serving to keep them fresh. Swap peaches for nectarines or plums for a different twist on this summer stone fruit salad.
