Peach and Burrata Arugula Salad
Hi, I’m Natalie, and I’m now obsessed with doing laundry.
Our new house had a washer and dryer hookup, but no washer and dryer. I originally thought we would buy an old, used set off Craigslist. We could keep it simple. But then my dad mentioned how much we would save on our electricity bill in the long run if we bought an energy efficient front loading washer and dryer. Plus, we will most likely be using this set for years and years to come.
A little seed was planted.
Must. Get. Front. Loading. Washer. And. Dryer.
It would be so much prettier in the open hallway where the washer and dryer go that I walk past about 20 times a day. Of course when begging Shawn I only touted the benefits of getting energy efficient. Luckily it didn’t take much convincing after seeing that Home Depot had an LG set on sale 30% off for 4th of July weekend.
Off to Home Depot we went, after a day of painting and building Ikea furniture. We we’re a hot mess. Not hot as in attractive, hot as in sweaty. We were a sweaty mess. But so is everyone else at Home Depot at 7pm on Saturday night. We fit right in, paint stains on our shirt and all.
Our oh-so-pretty washer and dryer set got delivered and it’s like Christmas! I’m having so much turning the knobs, and selecting the exact settings I need. “Water temp? Warm. Spin Speed? Let’s go with Medium. Soil Level? These aren’t too dirty, better go with Normal.”
I’m looking for any excuse to do laundry.
“Whoops, spilled a little water on this shirt. Better wash it!”
“Uh oh, I think there’s some dirt on these jeans. Off to the washer they go!”
Thank goodness peaches are in season, those juicy peaches are packed full of juice that will surely drip all over my clothes. Hurray for more laundry!
Besides featuring my favorite fruit of the summer, this peach and burrata arugula salad features my new favorite cheese: burrata.
Oh burrata, how have I never had you until this year? It is like a creamier, velvetier version of fresh mozzarella cheese. The outside is firm like mozarella, but the inside is so soft and spreadable. It’s amazing.
You are going to want to make this peach and burrata arugula salad all summer long. The sweet peaches with the creamy burrata mixed with the peppery arugula. It is flavor heaven in your mouth.
When you make this peach and burrata arugula salad, I am going to have to insist you also make the grilled bread with rosemary dipping oil. The 2 pair perfectly together with a glass of chardonnay, a warm summer night, and Ben Rector playing on Spotify. At least that is how Shawn and I enjoyed this peach and burrata arugula salad the last 2 times I made it, *wink*.

Awesome and easy!
Thanks, Kim! I love to hear this!
Oh my goodness! Burrata and peaches! Looks totally awesome! I need this salad! Making it next week.
I”ve actually never tried burrata before, but I’m a huge cheese lover so I think I need it in my life soon! I’m also a huge proponent of fruit in savory salads, so I really love this salad! I’m also loving your videos, keep them coming :)
Not even getting a brand new washer and dryer can make me look forward to laundry! Hate it. But I so love this salad. Peaches make such a great summer dish. Bet they taste amazing with that salad dressing and cheese!
Come home and do my laundry as well, because that’s a chore I really, really dislike! ;) And bring some of this gorgeous salad if you wish. Darg, it sounds amaaaaaazing! I’ve never had burrata, but I’m sure it makes the experience 847394 times better! xx
Oh yeah… I have a secret ‘laundry’ addiction too, teehee, good to hear you are enjoying your new toys. :) Its not really salad weather, but Im adding this beauty to the summer cooking list. Sooo good, gawd I love peaches.
I am so SO jealous of your washer dryer!!! I would be just like you – washing any and everything! I miss being able to do laundry like a normal person!! This salad looks delicious – so fresh and summery!! And I love the video – so fun!!
Girl, let me know if I can bring you my laundry. ;) You are having too much fun in the new house! This salad sounds perfect. I am so not in the mood to fire up the stove lately. And hello anything that goes well with wine gets an A+! Love the video!
Ooooo, and loving your videos… keep them going :)
Loving this recipe Natalie!! It screams summer and I’m all over it. Pinning so I remember to make!
This sounds wonderful! It’s on my list to try.
This is such a pretty, refreshing salad, Natalie (we’re peach salad twins this week – I made one too, but quite a bit different ;-) I love the way you’ve presented it with the peaches around the edge.
As for your washer dryer, my latest load is on its way as you’re enjoying it so much (sorry, bad joke, and I’m sure I’m not the first …)
Have a great weekend!
