Instructions

- 2. Arrange Greens: Scatter the fresh arugula or mixed greens evenly over the platter, creating a bed for the other ingredients.
- 3. Place Burrata: Carefully place the burrata balls (whole or gently torn) on top of the greens, nestled among the peach slices. Ensure burrata is at room temperature.
- 4. Add Prosciutto (Optional): If using, tear prosciutto into rustic pieces and drape over the salad. If using pancetta, crisp it in a pan and sprinkle over.
- 5. Garnish with Herbs: Tear fresh basil or mint leaves and scatter generously over the entire salad.
- 6. Dress and Serve: Drizzle the balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil over the salad. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
