This salad is the perfect warm weather dish and served with some fresh fruit and crusty bread, it’s delicious and easy. The recipe is a riff on a burrata and peach salad I saw on Cup of Jo and it’s become a Summer staple at Sassafras House.
You’ll need a bag of arugula, a cup of cherry tomatoes sliced in half, burrata, Italian salad dressing (I use Newman’s Own when I don’t have homemade on hand), and a fourth a cup each of toasted pine nuts and pesto, either fresh pesto or pre-made from the grocery store. Easy is the theme here, so don’t sweat the details.
Fill an 8x8 dish with the arugula and then spread the sliced cherry tomatoes along the edge of the dish. Place the burrata in the middle and sprinkle the pine nuts over the dish. Dollop the pesto on the burrata and the tomatoes and then add salt and pepper over the lot. Pour a tiny bit of the Italian dressing on the arugula. Go easy here because you can always add more.
Served alongside fresh fruit and crusty bread, this will serve four people. Add some grilled chicken or shrimp and it will stretch to feed six. Yum!
