Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 ripe peaches, quartered and pitted
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
4 thin slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces), halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Position a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Gently toss the peaches with 1 tablespoon olive oil on the prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper to taste and arrange cut-side down.
Broil until the skins are slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Turn so the skin side is down, and continue to broil until the tops of the peaches are lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and cool slightly.
Sprinkle the warm peaches with the mint, and wrap a piece of prosciutto around each peach quarter. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, and top with a few grinds of pepper.

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 peach
2 tablespoons cider vinegar or 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
12 cups Baby Spinach or 12 cups mesclun
6 slices prosciutto
3 peaches
3 green onions
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted (optional)

Steps:

For dressing, peel peach. Coarsely chop. Place in a blender or food processor. Add vinegar and salt. Whirl until puréed, then add oil and whirl. Dressing will be quite thick. It will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
Just before serving, place spinach in a very large bowl. Slice prosciutto into thin strips. Peel peaches, if you wish. Slice in half, then thinly slice into wedges. Thinly slice onions. Add all to spinach. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with nuts. Toss to evenly mix.

Tips:

To ensure the best flavor, choose ripe, in-season peaches.
If you prefer a softer texture, grill the peaches for a longer duration.
For a smokier flavor, grill the peaches over charcoal instead of a gas grill.
If you don't have a grill, you can also pan-sear the peaches in a hot skillet.
Use high-quality prosciutto for the best results.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice will add a bright, acidic flavor to the salad.
Feel free to adjust the amount of arugula and goat cheese according to your preference.
For a sweeter salad, drizzle some honey or balsamic glaze over the top.
Serve the salad immediately after assembling, while the peaches are still warm.

Conclusion:

This warm peach and prosciutto salad is a delightful combination of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. The grilled peaches add a smoky, caramelized flavor, while the prosciutto provides a salty and savory contrast. The arugula adds a peppery kick, and the goat cheese adds a creamy richness. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to showcase fresh, seasonal peaches.
