Ingredients
  • 2 Peaches
  • 4 oz Prosciutto
  • 5 oz Arugula
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Glaze
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Preparing the Peaches

Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides with olive oil. This will prevent sticking and help achieve nice grill marks.

Grilling the Peaches

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

Arranging the Salad

In a large bowl or on a platter, arrange the arugula as a base. Top with the grilled peaches and prosciutto slices.

Finishing Touches

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Optional Additions

Consider adding crumbled goat cheese or toasted pine nuts for added flavor and texture.

FAQ

  • Can I use canned peaches?

    Fresh peaches are recommended for the best flavor and texture. However, if using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well and pat them dry before grilling.
  • Can I use a different type of ham?

    Yes, you can substitute prosciutto with other types of cured ham, such as speck or Serrano ham.
  • Can I prepare this salad ahead of time?

    It's best to assemble the salad just before serving to prevent the arugula from wilting. You can grill the peaches ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
