Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup packed fresh basil leaves

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives

  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

  • 3 cups loosely packed baby arugula (2 oz.)

  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced

  • 1 ball burrata or fresh mozzarella

  • ¼ cup roasted, salted almonds, roughly chopped

  • teaspoon kosher salt

  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine oil, basil, and chives in a food processor. Process until very smooth and fully incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on solids to extract oil. Discard solids.

  2. Arrange prosciutto on a serving platter. Gently toss arugula with 2 tablespoons herb oil in a large bowl. Add peaches and gently toss to combine. Arrange mixture on top of prosciutto. Tear burrata into pieces and place on top of salad. Drizzle with 2 more tablespoons herb oil. (Reserve remaining herb oil for another use.)

  3. Top with chopped almonds and season with salt and pepper.
