Ingredients 
US Customary - Metric

  • 1 large peach, or 2 small peaches
  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 small shallots
  • 8 to 10 cups baby arugula, or spinach
  • 1/4 cup salted pistachios
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 6 oz burrata cheese, or fresh mozzarella
  • 6 med basil leaves

For Salad Dressing:

  • zest from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup, or honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Making the Salad:

  • Start by slicing the peach. Cut it in half first, then cut it into wedges or thin slices. Do the same for the avocado, then thinly slice the shallot.
  • Spread the arugula onto a large serving platter or drop it into a large salad bowl.
  • Sprinkle the sliced shallot over the arugula, then evenly distribute the sliced peaches and avocado. Sprinkle the pistachios over the top.
  • Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and drop those over the salad. Pull apart the burrata cheese into smaller chunks and add to the salad.
  • Stack and roll the basil leaves, then gently chop them. Sprinkle the fresh basil over the salad.

Making the Dressing:

  • Next, make the dressing. Zest the lemon first into a large measuring cup. Slice it in half and squeeze out the lemon juice.
  • Add the olive oil, maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme next. Season to taste.
  • Press or grate the garlic using a microplaner and add to the dressing. Whisk all the ingredients together.

Dressing & Serving the Salad:

  • When you’re ready to serve, whisk the salad dressing one more time, then pour over the salad. Use two large salad spoons to toss everything together.
  • Enjoy the salad immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, just keep the dressing on the side.
