Farro, Peach and Arugula Salad with Burrata

Juicy, ripe peaches are such a treat when the weather gets warmer. They add such delicious flavor to salads and salsas. I can never get enough creamy burrata cheese, and pairing it with peppery arugula, sweet peaches and nutty farro makes this dish the perfect summer meal or side dish. The sweet basil and toasty marcona almonds on top add even more flavor and freshness.
If you want to add meat to this meal, I recommend grilled chicken wings or pork tenderloin.

1. Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl.

 

2. Place arugula in a large mixing bowl and toss with half of the vinaigrette. Transfer to a serving platter.

 

3. Top arugula with farro, peaches and cheese and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

4. Garnish the salad with basil and almonds. Finish with freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
