Ingredients

Candied Pecans

  • 20 g whole pecans
  • 1 tablespoon runny honey

Salad

  • 2 handfuls mixed salad leaves
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoon fresh basil pesto
  • 1 peach (de-stoned and thinly sliced)
  • 50 g blueberries
  • 2 tablespoon fresh basil leaves (finely shredded)
  • 250 g ball burrata cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Balsamic Dressing

Instructions

Candied Pecans

  • Place the pecans into a bowl, pour over the honey and stir to combine.
  • Add the pecans to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Toast the nuts in the syrup for a couple of minutes to candy them. Stir the nuts to keep them moving, they will darken, but you don't want the honey to burn, only caramelise.
  • Remove the nuts from the pan onto a sheet of baking parchment. Place in a single layer and separate them out, then set aside to cool completely.

Assemble the Salad

  • Place the salad leaves, spinach and basil into a large serving bowl.
  • Scatter over the sliced peaches and blueberries.
  • Place the burrata in the middle of the bowl and scatter around the candied pecans.
  • Drizzle the salad with fresh basil pesto and lemon balsamic dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

This is a salad that is best assembled and served immediately as if left to sit the burrata will dry out. Also once cut the creamy burrata filling will spill onto the salad.
This recipe will serve 1 as a salad main dish, or ⅔ as a salad side.
