Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut the peach into 1/4-inch thick slices, discarding the pit, and place in a medium bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp sea salt; toss gently to coat and let marinate for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While peaches marinate, arrange arugula on a platter. Top with marinated peaches, 4 oz burrata, and 3 prosciutto slices (tearing into 1-inch pieces if thin).
  3. Step 3: Whisk remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 cup basil, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified. Drizzle over salad just before serving, then place the toasted crusty bread slice on the side.
