Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, peppery arugula, and salty prosciutto, drizzled with a tangy balsamic dressing. Perfect for warm weather and last-minute meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: crumbled goat cheese or shaved Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  2. Halve and pit the peaches, then brush each cut side with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until golden grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly. Flip and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. On a large platter or salad bowl, arrange the arugula and tear the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces. Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and add to the greens. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle optional cheese on top if desired.

Notes

Use firm peaches to avoid mushiness on the grill. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking. Toss salad gently to avoid bruising arugula. Keep dressing separate if preparing ahead to maintain freshness. Optional toppings include goat cheese or Parmesan; for dairy-free, omit cheese or add toasted nuts.
