Ingredients
  

2 ripe heirloom tomatoes, sliced

2 ripe peaches, sliced

8 oz burrata cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

2 cups arugula

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

A handful of toasted pine nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: On a large serving platter, lay a bed of fresh arugula at the center, creating a vibrant green base for the salad.

    Layer the Tomatoes and Peaches: Artfully arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes and peaches atop the arugula. You can alternate between slices of tomato and peach for a beautiful presentation.

      Add the Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into large pieces and place them strategically over the tomatoes and peaches. The creamy texture of the burrata should contrast beautifully with the fruits.

        Sprinkle Fresh Basil: Scatter the torn basil leaves over the salad to infuse a fresh aromatic flavor.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the entire salad.

            Season: Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the tomatoes and peaches.

              Optional Garnish: If using, sprinkle toasted pine nuts around the salad for an added crunch and nuttiness.

                Serve: Serve the salad immediately while the ingredients are fresh. Enjoy the melty goodness of the burrata alongside the sweetness of the peaches and the acidity of the tomatoes.
