Toss the arugula with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Arrange it in a medium shallow serving bowl.
Place the burrata ball in the center. Then, arrange the sliced prosciutto next to it. Continue building the bowl with remaining toppings.
Brush the baguette slices with olive oil. Toast them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and crunchy, about 3 minutes per side. Then, arrange the bread on the bowl.

Notes
Burrata: Once opened, burrata should be consumed within 1 or 2 days. Keep refrigerated. Get the regular-sized 4-ounce balls. Don't get the minis.
If you can't find marinated artichokes or olives, get canned or jarred, and toss with olive oil and dried Italian seasoning.
Roasted bell peppers: I use store-bought roasted red bell peppers. They come in jars.
Balsamic glaze: Store-bought glaze is great and much easier than making your own at home.
Prep ahead: Prep all the toppings up to 2 days in advance, but don't dress the greens yet. When ready to serve, assemble.
