Ingredients
- 5 ounces arugula
- ¼ cup prepared pesto plus extra for garnish
- 8 ounces cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 4 ounces burrata
- 2 ounces prosciutto
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze optional
French bread croutons
- ¼ loaf day old french bread cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
To prepare the French bread croutons
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Place the cubed bread in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Combine the seasonings and sprinkle them over the bread tossing to evenly distribute.
- Spread the bread cubes over a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until they reach your desired toastiness. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
To assemble the Arugula Burrata Salad
- Toast the pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until they start to turn golden brown.
- Toss the arugula with the pesto to coat. Then transfer to a large platter.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes over the arugula, then break the burrata into bite sized pieces and arrange over the salad.
- Tear the proscuitto into small pieces and nestle them between the tomatoes and burrata cheese. Top with pine nuts and croutons. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Notes
- Makes 2 meal sized salads or 4 side salads.
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: Once assembled, I recommend eating this salad in one sitting as it does not store very well.
- How to Scale: This recipe can easily be doubled if you are feeding a crowd or halved for smaller portions.

- Arugula: Baby kale may be substituted for the arugula, but the greens won't have quite as much flavor.
- Cherry tomatoes: Large tomatoes cut into wedges will work in place of the cherry tomatoes.
- French bread: Another favorite bakery bread such as Italian or sourdough will work for croutons, too.
