Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

8 ounces burrata cheese

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and frisée work well)

1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans

1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Peaches: Place the halved peaches on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

        Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted peaches, sliced red onion, and toasted walnuts. Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and add it gently to the salad.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine everything without breaking the burrata too much.

            Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves and an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve this vibrant salad as a delightful appetizer or a refreshing side dish to your main meal!
