Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups fresh arugula leaves, washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cut 4 ripe peaches in half and carefully remove the pits. Place the halves cut side up on the baking sheet. Brush each peach half lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Roast the peaches in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until they soften and develop golden edges but do not fall apart.
- While peaches roast, toss 4 cups of fresh arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze with 1 teaspoon of honey.
- Let the roasted peaches cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Arrange the arugula on a serving platter or bowl. Tear 8 ounces of burrata into chunks and scatter over the greens. Nestle the warm roasted peach halves around and on top.
- Drizzle the balsamic-honey glaze evenly over the salad. Sprinkle fresh herbs like basil or mint if using.
- Finish with a final sprinkle of cracked black pepper and a light pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use firm yet ripe peaches to avoid mushy texture. Tear burrata by hand to preserve creaminess. Assemble salad just before serving to keep arugula fresh and burrata cool. Roasting peaches the night before is possible but reheat gently before serving.
