Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh arugula
- 2 ripe peaches halved and pitted
- 1 ball burrata cheese
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and brush the cut sides with olive oil. Grill the peaches on a hot grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and they are slightly softened.
- In a large serving bowl, place the fresh arugula as the base for the salad.
- Place the grilled peach halves on top of the arugula, and cut the burrata cheese into chunks, spreading them evenly across the salad.
- Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze and season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, add fresh basil leaves for extra flavor.
Serving
- Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, ensuring each serving has a bit of arugula, peach, and burrata.
Storage
- If you have leftovers, store the arugula and burrata separately from the grilled peaches in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to two days.
