Pomegranate, Fig, and Burrata Salad

This is the perfect summer to fall transition salad.  It combines some of my favorite summer elements (burrata and arugula) and some of my favorite pre-fall elements (figs and pomegranate).  It is relatively simple, but packs some flavor especially from the spiciness of the arugula.  
Ingredients:

• arugula
• 8 figs, sliced in quarters
• burrata cheese, sliced
• 1/2 pomegranate, seeded and reserve juice for dressing
• olive oil, dash
• red wine vinegar, dash
• salt and pepper for tasting

1. Lightly brown figs under the broiler for a few minutes.  You can serve them raw too, but I like the caramelizing effect this has.  
2. Mix the figs, arugula, pomegranate seeds, and burrata in a large bowl.
3. Splash a dash of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and the leftover pomegranate juice on top of the salad.
4. Salt and pepper for taste and toss.
