Build the Green Foundation
In a large shallow bowl or platter, toss the arugula, mint, and basil with 1 tablespoon of the dressing to lightly coat. Layer the thinly sliced red onions over the greens.

Arrange the Fruit and Corn
Artfully nestle the peach wedges, cherry halves, and charred corn kernels into the bed of greens, ensuring an even distribution of colors.

Add the Burrata
Place the burrata ball in the center of the salad. Using a knife or fork, gently tear the outer shell to allow the creamy stracciatella center to spill out slightly.

Garnish and Serve
Drizzle the remaining dressing generously over the fruit and cheese. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and an extra pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately while peaches are fresh.
Chef's Tips
- To prevent red onions from being too pungent, soak the slices in ice water for 10 minutes before adding to the salad.
- For extra depth, grill the peach wedges for 1-2 minutes per side before adding them to the bowl.
- Ensure your burrata is at room temperature for the creamiest texture.
