Ingredients
  • 5 oz, baby arugula Arugula
  • 2 ripe but firm, halved and pitted Peaches
  • 3 oz, thinly sliced Prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup, thinly sliced Red Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Prepare the Peaches

Halve and pit the peaches. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil. This helps prevent sticking to the grill.

Grill the Peaches

Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are slightly softened. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly, then slice each half into wedges.

Prepare the Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, toss the arugula with the grilled peach wedges, thinly sliced red onion, and prosciutto (you can tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces). Drizzle with the prepared vinaigrette. Gently toss to coat.

Add Balsamic Glaze and Serve

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad just before serving. Serve immediately.
