Salad sensation: Burrata and nectarine delight with arugula and pecans

Salad with creamy burrata, sweet nectarine, and arugula tastes like a warm summer day. It’s perfect for a light lunch, healthy snack, or quick dinner.

This recipe is ideal if you want to surprise your family and friends with a delicious salad. It's a tasty and healthy break from the classic gyro or iconic Greek salads. When I place it on the table, everyone is delighted. It’s colorful and pleasing not just to the palate but also to the eyes.

Combining sweet, grilled nectarines, creamy burrata, nuts, and arugula makes for a unique dish. Pecan nuts add a crunchy texture, making each bite the perfect balance between sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, and crunchiness. Here, everything just fits.

Ingredients:

                  
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 nectarines
• 2 ounces pecan nuts
• 4 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 burratas
• 3 ounces arugula
• basil leaves
• chili flakes for sprinkling

Preparation:

Step 1: Cut the nectarines into eighths, removing the pit. Melt the butter on a grill pan or grill plate and place the sliced fruit. Grill on both sides until they start to brown. You can also do this in a regular pan.

Step 2: In a large bowl, place the washed and dried arugula. Arrange the grilled nectarines and drained burrata. Add the pecan nuts and drizzle with olive oil and honey. You can substitute pecan nuts with walnuts.

Step 3: Finally, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with chili flakes. The simple salad with burrata and nectarine is now ready. Enjoy!
