Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 4 cups arugula or spring mix greens
- 2 Fuyu persimmons, sliced, cubed, or cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup walnuts, raw or toasted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Dressing
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl or platter, arrange the arugula or spring mix greens as the base. Add the sliced or cubed Fuyu persimmons, walnuts, torn burrata cheese, and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on top, ensuring each ingredient is visible and evenly distributed for a colorful presentation.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, and salt until well combined to create a smooth vinaigrette.
- Dress the salad and toss: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the assembled salad. Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing, taking care not to break up the burrata too much.
Notes
- This Persimmon Burrata Salad highlights seasonal fall ingredients, making it perfect for autumn and holiday meals.
- You can toast the walnuts lightly for extra flavor and crunch, but raw walnuts work well too.
- To make the salad more substantial, consider adding grilled chicken or roasted chickpeas.
- For a different twist, try substituting arugula with baby spinach or mixed greens.
- Serve this salad immediately after dressing to keep the burrata creamy and the greens fresh.
