How to Make a Peach Burrata Salad
This recipe includes step-by-step photos to guide you through the process. Detailed measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
STEP 1: Prepare the Vinaigrette – In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
STEP 2: Toast the Pine Nuts – Add your pine nuts to a dry saucepan over medium heat. Toast for 1 to 2 minutes, gently shaking the pan frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
STEP 3: Prepare the Produce – Wash and slice the peaches into ½-inch slices and cut the grape tomatoes in half.
STEP 4: Assemble the Salad – Arrange the arugula on a large serving platter or in a large bowl. Top with the sliced peaches and tomatoes.
STEP 5: Add the Burrata and Pine Nuts – Place the burrata on top of the salad. Using a sharp knife, cut a small cross into each burrata ball and gently open the tops to reveal the creamy center. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts evenly over the salad.
STEP 6: Dress and Serve – Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the salad and finish with an additional drizzle of honey if desired. Serve immediately, making sure each portion includes peaches, tomatoes, arugula, pine nuts, and creamy burrata.
