Peach, Arugula & Burrata Salad

Peach, Arugula & Burrata Salad
Description
Ripe, juicy summer peaches are great with the slight bitterness of arugula and the punch of coriander. And their bright acidity makes them a good match with burrata and its stracciatella-and-cream interior. Peaches, arugula, and coriander seeds are packed with anti-inflammatory compounds. Burrata adds calcium and protein, rounding out the dish for overall wellness.
