Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the stone-ground mustard, honey, white wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, minced shallot, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create a smooth, emulsified dressing. Set aside.
  2. Place 4 cups of arugula in a large serving bowl. Evenly scatter 2 cups of mixed berries over the arugula, then tear the burrata into smaller pieces and distribute on top. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of roughly chopped pistachios.
  3. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Lightly toss to ensure even coverage without breaking the burrata. Serve immediately.
