Peach Arugula Salad with Burrata and Blueberries
Ingredients:
6 cups arugula
2 ripe peaches (or nectarines)
1/3 cup blueberries
2, 4oz burrata cheese balls
a pinch of flakey sea salt
a drizzle of olive oil
Balsamic Glaze:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
Directions:
Heat a pan over high heat. Slice peaches in half and remove pits. Lightly brush some oil over the cut-side of the peach. Once hot, place peach halves in the pan, face down. Cook for 2 minutes, until golden. Set aside.
Combine balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. When mixture simmers, turn the heat down to low and let bubble until reduced by about half, 6-8 minutes. Pour glaze into a heat safe dish and let cool.
Arrange the arugula onto (2) plates. Cut the peaches into slices. Tear burrata into a few pieces. Arrange peaches and burrata over the arugula, then sprinkle with blueberries.
Just before serving, drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the plate, followed by a generous drizzle of the cooled balsamic glaze. Finish with a pinch of flakey sea salt and serve.
Pairs amazingly with Blueberry Mead from Batch Mead.
