I was wandering around Rome and looking for lunch and came upon a cafe that had a beautiful salad on display. I ordered it. Incredibly simple: tomatoes, slices of peach, chopped scallions, and burrata. When I got home I wanted to make it and thought about the right dressing. Ahhhh, Chili Crisp honey mixed with apple cider vinegar to add a touch of sweetness, hot crunch, and a vinegary tang. Here you go...
Salad Ingredients:
3 LARGE tomatoes
2 RIPE peaches
3 scallions
1/2 lb burrata
Preparation:
- Core the tomatoes then cut in half then slice each half into 6 wedges. If wedges feel too big, cut them in half.
- Use a paring knife to cut into the peach down to the pit around the top-to-bottom circumference of the peach, then twist lightly to separate halved and remove the pit. Cut each peach half into wedges (about 6 for each half).
- Chop the white and green parts of the scallions into 1/4-3/8" pieces
- Use your fingers to pull the burrata apart into small pieces. Don't worry if the creamy interior separates from the outer shell.
- Put the cut tomatoes, peaches, and scallions into a large salad bowl or service dish and dot the top with the torn burrata.
Dressing Ingredients:
3 Tbs of Chili Crisp Honey
3/8 cup of apple cider vinegar
Preparation:
- Put the Chili Crisp Honey (be sure each tablespoon is half honey and half crisp) in a tall bowl.
- Add the apple cider vinegar
-
Stir until the honey has dissolved into the cider and the mixture pours easily.
- Adjust to taste. You might want a little more Chili Crisp, a little more Honey from the bottom of the jar, or a little more apple cider vinegar.
Last Step:
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss. Truly, this is something you'll make over and over again throughout the summer.
So easy to make and so much flavor and all the freshness summer has to offer. A simple mix of tomatoes, peaches, scallions, and burrata topped off with a 2-ingredient dressing: Chili Crisp Honey and apple cider vinegar. Yum!
