Ingredients
Scale
For the salad
- 4 to 5 oz baby arugula
- 8 oz balls burrata cheese OR ½ cup feta cheese crumbles
- ½ to ¾ pound strawberries, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup chopped roasted salted pistachios
For the honey balsamic dressing (you’ll use about half)
- 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, and salt until fully combined. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, adding 1 tablespoon at a time and whisking until it incorporates, until an emulsion forms. (Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks; bring to room temperature before serving).
- Plate the salad: Place the arugula on a platter. If using burrata, top with torn burrata. Add the strawberries and pistachios. If using feta, sprinkle the feta on top of the berries. Drizzle with the desired amount of dressing (I start with about half, then add more to taste) and enjoy.
