One of the standout features of the Peach & Prosciutto Salad is the addition of cheese and nuts, which significantly enhances both the flavor profile and texture of the dish. For this recipe, we recommend using creamy burrata or tangy feta cheese, as both options complement the sweetness of the peaches beautifully. Burrata, with its rich, buttery center, adds a luxurious creaminess that contrasts nicely with the crispy prosciutto and juicy fruit. Alternatively, feta provides a crumbly texture and a salty kick that balances the sweetness of the peaches perfectly.

Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, beautifully sliced

6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced for easy layering

4 cups mixed greens (such as a blend of arugula, spinach, and kale)

1 cup goat cheese, crumbled for creamy texture

1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped for crunch

1/4 cup balsamic glaze, for a sweet and tangy drizzle

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, for dressing

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Greens: In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed greens. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil and season generously with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently toss the greens with your hands or salad tongs until they are well coated in oil and seasoning.

    Arrange the Base: Divide the dressed greens evenly among serving plates, creating an inviting bed for the other ingredients.

      Layer the Ingredients: Carefully place the peach slices and prosciutto on top of the greens. Aim for an aesthetically pleasing arrangement, spreading the peaches and prosciutto evenly across each plate to add vibrant colors.

        Add the Cheese and Nuts: Generously sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the salad, followed by the toasted walnuts, which will add delightful crunch and nutty flavor.

          Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Finish off the salad by artfully drizzling the balsamic glaze over the top. This deliciously sweet and tangy element will elevate the dish and tie all the flavors together.

            Serve Immediately: Enjoy your refreshing peach and prosciutto salad right away for the best flavor and crispness.
