Vida Recetas Editorial

The arugula salad with burrata, bacon and walnut pesto is a perfect combination of flavors and textures that elevates any meal. Arugula, with its characteristic slightly peppery taste, becomes the ideal base for this easy and quick recipe, perfect for both a light lunch and a special dinner. Its origin is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, where fresh, high-quality ingredients are the protagonists.

Why this salad works

The creaminess of the burrata contrasts with the crunchiness of the bacon and the aromatic touch of the walnut pesto, creating a delicious balance. In addition, the tomatoes provide freshness and acidity, while the pesto, made with walnuts, spinach, parmesan and olive oil, adds a sophisticated layer of flavor.

Variations and tips

  • You can substitute the bacon with serrano ham or smoked turkey for a lighter version.
  • If you prefer a more traditional pesto, use basil instead of spinach.
  • This salad is perfect for those looking for a complete meal, as it combines proteins, healthy fats and vegetables.
