Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Salad is a flavor bomb of sweet and savory flavors that makes for a perfect summer meal.
To make this salad, you’ll need some ripe peaches, arugula, prosciutto, and a few other ingredients. Start by grilling the peaches until they are soft and slightly charred. The heat will caramelize the sugars in the peaches, making them sweeter and more flavorful. Then, grill the prosciutto until it is crispy, and cut it into small pieces.
Next, arrange a bed of arugula on a platter or in a large salad bowl. Place the grilled peaches on top of the arugula, and sprinkle the prosciutto pieces over the peaches. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the salad, and sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste.
To add some texture and crunch to the salad, you can also add some chopped pecans or walnuts. These nuts will complement the sweetness of the peaches and the saltiness of the prosciutto, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dish.
You can use different types of greens, such as spinach or mixed greens, and you can also experiment with different dressings and toppings. For example, you could add some crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese, or you could use a honey-mustard dressing instead of balsamic vinegar.
Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Salad is a delicious and healthy recipe that is perfect for summer. It is easy to prepare, and it can be customized to your liking by using different ingredients and toppings.Â
