Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups fresh arugula, well-washed and dried
2 ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges
8 oz burrata cheese, ideally at room temperature
1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Begin by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Rinse and dry the arugula thoroughly. Place it in a large salad bowl as the base of your salad.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Arrange them evenly over the arugula.
Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and scatter it over the salad.
Add the toasted walnuts or pecans. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top if using.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
