Arugula-strawberry salad

Image
The star of this salad is Arugula or rocket. I love this crisp salad leaf with its slightly peppery, almost spicy taste. To complement the flavor, we add strawberries- sweet and cold. It’s a simple salad - Arugula, strawberries, corn, feta and balsamic vinaigrette. Toss and enjoy fresh.  Option: Use toasted walnuts and Parmesan instead of the corn and feta. 

Burrata and peach salad

Image
A friend recently reminded me of an avocado-burrata-peach toast we had after a hike in SF, where we ended the afternoon by visiting the food trucks of "Off the grid". And very soon I was craving for the burrata-peach combo. Its the creaminess of burrata with its mild saltiness that does wonders when it is paired with juicy, sweet peaches. I went looking for a recipe on the internet and found this one by two peas and their pod. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/tomato-peach-burrata-salad/ Not many changes were done to the recipe except I also sprinkled some sea salt, black pepper and drizzled some olive oil on the top. We paired it with whole rye bread as an open sandwich - it was a hit.
