How to make Burrata Peach Arugula Salad

Hint: You can make your own balsamic glaze or store bought balsamic glaze. You could also use any dressing you would like, or even just olive oil and vinegar.

Substitutions

Arugula: I love using fresh arugula for this salad, although you can use watercress, baby spinach or mixed greens.

Peaches: Peaches are a key ingredient to this recipe. If you prefer something else, you could use apricots, plums or pluots.

Burrata: I love the creaminess that burrata brings to this recipe. If you prefer using bufala mozzarella or goat cheese that works too.

Equipment

1. Large mixing bowl: This will be used to toss the arugula and dressing together.
2. Whisk: To prepare the vinaigrette, you will need a whisk to combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and honey.
3. Knife: You will need a sharp knife to slice the peaches and any additional ingredients you choose to add to the salad.
4. Cutting board: A sturdy cutting board will be necessary to slice the peaches and any other ingredients.
5. Salad servers: To serve the salad, you will need a pair of salad servers or tongs.
6. Serving dish: A shallow serving dish or plate will be needed to arrange the salad.

Storage

1. Store the salad separately from the dressing: To prevent the arugula from becoming wilted, it's best to store the salad and the dressing separately. Place the leftover salad in an airtight container and the dressing in a separate small container or jar.
2. Keep the burrata cheese separate: Burrata cheese should be stored separately from the salad as well. Place the leftover cheese in a small airtight container.
3. Refrigerate promptly: Store the leftover salad, dressing, and cheese in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Ideally, it should be consumed within 24 hours to ensure the best flavor and freshness.
4. Re-dress the salad before serving: When you're ready to enjoy the leftover salad, remove the containers from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Toss the salad with the dressing and arrange the burrata cheese on top just before serving.

Burrata Peach Arugula Salad Top tips

1. Use ripe peaches: The sweetness and juiciness of ripe peaches will add a wonderful flavor and texture to the salad. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma.
2. Choose fresh arugula: Fresh, peppery arugula leaves are key to this salad's flavor. Choose leaves that are bright green and crisp.
3. Use high-quality burrata cheese: The quality of the cheese can make a big difference in the flavor and texture of the salad. Look for a high-quality burrata cheese that is creamy and fresh.
4. Prepare the dressing in advance: You can prepare the dressing in advance and store it in a jar or container until you're ready to serve the salad. This will save you time and ensure that the flavors have had time to meld together.
5. Serve at room temperature: The salad is best served at room temperature, so be sure to take it out of the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving.
