Come summer, farmers’ markets are bursting with produce so fresh that they need little cooking to make taste great. The majority of ingredients in this recipe are left raw to let their fresh flavors shine. We use the Suvie to cook the wheat berries until plump and perfectly toothsome and to cook the corn, which we sous vide, keeping all that summery corn flavor intact. A generous serving of burrata adds creaminess to all the fresh and crunchy components. Together, these ingredients produce a salad that is creamy, crunchy, salty, sweet, and the perfect representation of summer’s bounty.

3) Meanwhile, cut melon into bite size pieces and set aside in the refrigerator. Whisk remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and sherry vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside.
4) Once the corn has finished cooking, remove corn from vacuum bags. Cut kernels off the cob. Divide arugula, wheat berries, melon, corn, and serrano ham between two plates. Cut burrata in half, being careful not to lose too much cream, and place in the middle of each plate. Drizzle dressing over each salad and serve.
