Description
A refreshing and delightful salad combining the sweetness of peaches with the creaminess of burrata, complemented by prosciutto and fresh greens.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces Burrata Cheese
- 5 large Lettuce leaves
- 2 large Peaches, pitted and sliced
- ½ Lemon, cut into wedges
- 5–8 slices Prosciutto di Parma
- ½ cup Arugula
- ¼ cup Fresh Basil, torn into pieces
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
- ½ cup Microgreens, optional
- Dressing: 1 tablespoon White Balsamic Vinegar, or preferred vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the Burundi from the brine and rest it at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften and bring out its creamy flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Lay the lettuce and arugula across your serving platter to form the base of the salad.
- Arrange the peach slices and prosciutto in small clusters around the platter, leaving space for the burrata. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the peaches to help prevent browning.
- Gently tear the burrata into smaller pieces and place them between the peaches and prosciutto.
- Scatter the basil leaves and chopped pistachios over the salad. Add microgreens on top if using.
- Just before serving, drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Serve it as a light side salad or pair it with slices of crusty bread or crostini for a simple, bruschetta-style appetizer.
Notes
- Microgreens are optional but add a nice touch.
- For additional flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of goat cheese or feta cheese.
- This salad is perfect for summer gatherings or as a light lunch.
