Grilled Peach & Prosciutto Salad
Our Grilled Peach & Prosciutto Salad is a real overachiever: it’s light and fresh, thanks to fresh arugula and sweet peaches, but it’s sturdy and filling, too, courtesy of the creamy avocado. The flavors are sophisticated — there’s the sweet-smoky chiaroscuro of the peaches, the bright pop of the basil, the peppery arugula and the salty prosciutto. It’s a salad with depth, texture and bold flavor in every bite and it’s on the table in just 10 minutes.
4 servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
4 large peaches
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
5 slices prosciutto
2 cups arugula
1 avocado, sliced
½ cantaloupe (about 12 ounces), diced
½ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
Directions
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, then slice them in half again to quarter. Lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook, uncovered, until nice grill marks have formed, about 3 minutes per side.
- Lay the prosciutto slices on the hot grill or grill pan and cook until crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- To assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl, combine the grilled peaches, arugula, avocado, cantaloupe and basil. Drizzle the aged balsamic vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top. Toss to combine.
- Crumble the crispy prosciutto on top of the salad and serve immediately.
