Summer means hosting barbeques and eating cherry tomatoes off the vine. If you can hold off long enough to make this salad, you won’t regret it. Oregon summers are filled with fresh produce, late nights, and perfect summer days; this dish always seems to be a crowd favorite! I’m sure you’ve had this before, or something similar, so try adding something new this time around. This salad is served best fresh, not ahead of time.
Cheers!
Arugula-Burrata Salad
4 starter servings
- 5 oz. arugula
- 16 oz. cherry tomatoes

Optional additions: grilled or fresh peaches, fresh blueberries, figs, or protein, like salmon.
