Equipment

  • Casserole dish
  • Small bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • salt and pepper
  • 6-8 figs ripe
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 8 oz burrata ball
  • 3-4 cups arugula washed
  • ¼ cup pistachios shells removed, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. While the oven is preheating, cut the figs into halves. Place the figs cut side up in a parchment lined casserole dish.
  • Mix balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, salt and pepper in a bowl, and brush the figs with the mixture.
  • Bake the figs for 12-15 minutes, or until they start to brown. Reserve the juices from the tray for the dressing.
  • Assemble the salad by placing the arugula on a platter, then the roasted figs, with the burrata in the middle. Drizzel with the homemade dressing and sprinkle with pistachios.

Notes

Fresh mozzarella is the closest substitute for burrata in terms of flavor, but it's not going to be as creamy.
