Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, or in a bowl with a whisk, add olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.) Shake or whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl, add the arugula, red onion, tomatoes, and peaches. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to combine. Top with burrata and serve.

Notes
- Dijon mustard can be adjusted in quantity; spicy brown mustard is a viable substitute for similar flavor depth.
- Season dressing by tasting before adding salt; typically use about half the salt amount in freshly ground black pepper for balanced seasoning.
- Burrata is a creamy cheese with a mozzarella shell; if unavailable, fresh buffalo milk mozzarella can substitute.
- Make dressing up to 3 days in advance and shake or whisk before using.
- Salad makes four servings; best served immediately after assembling to maintain burrata texture.
