📋Ingredients
To make this protein-packed, burrata arugula salad, you need these ingredients:
Arugula - Also known as rocket (Australia, UK, NZ). It is the base of the salad that keeps it fresh and healthy. Being slightly bitter + peppery, it balances the creamy burrata and cuts through the sweet peach and cherry
Buratta - A fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. When you cut into it, the filling gently flows out, creating a luxurious texture that pairs beautifully with fresh salads and fruits. For the best experience, add burrata just before serving to enjoy its full creaminess and delicate flavor.
Fruits - Use fresh peaches for the best flavor and texture. If you're using canned peaches, like I do for convenience, drain them well and pat them dry to remove excess sweetness and moisture. For this recipe, I use fresh cherries, pitted and halved, for easy eating and the best texture in the salad.
Dressing - A quick and easy homemade dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and honey. It adds a light sweetness and tangy freshness that perfectly ties the salad together.

👩🍳How to make arugula burrata salad
Start with the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Add a pinch of Italian herbs for an extra burst of flavor and aroma.
Arrange the arugula on a serving platter or salad bowl. Lightly drizzle the lemon-honey dressing over the leaves.
Tear the burrata into small pieces and scatter it over the arugula. This allows the soft creaminess to spread throughout the salad, enhancing every bite with its rich texture.
Gently arrange the halved cherries and sliced peaches in a circular pattern across the salad.
Top with toasted walnuts and flaked almonds. Finish with extra lemon-honey dressing.
Optional: For a stunning presentation, add a generous piece of burrata in the centre and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of colour and freshness. Finish with extra walnuts and flaked almonds.
Serve immediately and enjoy chilled burrata and arugula salad.
❄️Storage
Arugula burrata salad with peaches and cherries is best enjoyed immediately. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing and burrata separate until ready to serve.
