🔪 How to Make Burrata Arugula Salad

To Make the Dressing

Add all of the dressing ingredients into the bowl of a mini chopper or food processor.

Blend until well combined and emulsified.  Set aside while you prepare the salad.

To Make the Salad

Heat up your grill or grill pan and rub olive oil over the grates. 

Grill the peach slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side. 

Tip: Do not grill them too long or they will get mushy and stick to your grill.

Once finished, remove and set them aside to cool.

Wash, dry and arrange the arugula on a large serving platter.  Pour half the dressing over the top and gently toss to coat.

Tip: Be sure you are ready to serve the salad, otherwise the arugula will become soggy if it sits too long.

Add the 4 pieces of the burrata over the arugula. Next, add each slice of prosciutto in little bundles spaced throughout the platter.

Add the cooled peach slices and the toasted chopped walnuts, chopped fresh mint, flaked sea salt and pepper.

Tip: If you don't have walnuts, slivered almonds, pecans or pine nuts will work well too. Just be sure to toast them first, it helps enhance the flavor.

Finally drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and serve.

Are Peaches Allowed on a Low Carb Diet?

What is Burrata?

Burrata cheese is a type of Italian cheese that is best known for its rich, creamy indulgent texture. It's made from cow's milk and is actually a variation of mozzarella cheese.

What really makes burrata extra special, is its unique filling. The cheese consists of a soft outer shell, which is made from stretched mozzarella curds, and a luscious, creamy center that is filled with a combination of fresh cream and strands of mozzarella curds. This gives burrata its distinct characteristic of a creamy and oozing center, similar to a small pouch.

How Many Carbs are in a Burrata Salad?
