Ripe and sweet grilled peach, salty prosciutto and fresh arugula with a tangy vinaigrette make up for the salad you need on a hot summer day!

Amongst many fruits that you can grill like pineapple, melon, and many others, peaches are one of my favorite grilled fruits. Grilled peaches and prosciutto make for a great sweet and salty combo.

What do you need to make this salad?

Peaches: You’ll want some nice ripe peaches that are still relatively firm to hold together after grilling.

Prosciutto slices: Such a great cured ham to go in a salad with the peaches. You can get those already pre-sliced at your butcher or at the supermarket.

Arugula: Arugula is a lovely leaf that has a great peppery taste.

Vinaigrette: olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, plain yogurt, salt, and pepper make for a rich and tangy vinaigrette for this salad.

Goat Cheese: Use a fresh goat cheese that is already crumbled or that can easily be crumbled to spread on the plate.

Rosemary: Rosemary is a nice, fragrant, and woody herb that pairs really well with peaches.

How to make grilled peach and prosciutto salad?

The key to this salad is preparing and grilling the peaches.

Marinate your peaches

First, you need to marinate the peaches in olive oil and chopped rosemary. This will give a nice fragrant addition to the peaches.

Grill your peaches

Then, you need to grill them on medium heat for a couple of minutes on the exposed flesh until you get nice char marks. Be careful when you manipulate them to avoid bruising or damaging them before serving. It’s ok to serve them at room temperature.

Plate your salad

Once your peaches are ready, it all comes down to a nice plating. Firstly, put your prosciutto slices on the plate and pinch them to get volume and texture. Then, add your peaches flesh side up, spread your goat cheese crumbles and top with the arugula salad mixed with the vinaigrette. Finally, finish with a drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper, and you’re done!
