Ingredients

  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 2 peaches ripe
  • 8 ounces burrata I used 4 burrata balls (2 ounces)
  • ¼ cup pistachios salted & roasted

Simple Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons red onion, minced
  • cup champagne vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil use one that is mild & neutral in taste
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • salt, pepper and chili flakes to taste

Instructions

  • Crush pistachios and wash, dry and slice peaches thinly and set aside. Also, mince red onions.
  • In a jar, add together the olive oil, red onion, champagne vinegar, honey and dijon mustard. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Put lid on top and shake for a minute until completely emulsified. If you don't have a jar, use a bowl and whisk instead.
  • Place baby arugula on a serving platter or bowl. Top with the peaches and torn burrata cheese. Drizzle some dressing over the salad and garnish with pistachios. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use high-quality olive oil - The flavor of this salad really depends on each ingredient being the freshest and most high-quality. Avoid olive oil blends and opt for the pure stuff. It will make all the difference! You'll want something neutral and mild in taste.
Eat the Day Made! - Personally, if you dress the salad, I recommend eating the salad the day made. However, if you don't mind slightly wilted arugula, you could store salad in the refrigerator for 1 additional day.
Ap-PEACH-iate ripe peaches! - The peaches are the star of the show here so be sure to use ripe ones for optimal flavor.
