Sweet, char-grilled peach wedges wrapped in savory, salty cured meat and drizzled with a simple but delicious balsamic vinaigrette. What’s not to love?

Ingredients

• 2 peaches
• 16 green leaves – arugula, lamb’s lettuce, etc.
• 8 slices prosciutto di Parma
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

How to Make it

Let’s explore how to make grilled peaches so you can experience this deliciousness whenever you like.

1. Cut peaches. Cut each peach into 8 wedges; set aside.
2. Grill the peaches. Heat a grill to medium heat and grill each wedge for just one or two minutes (until slightly tender).
3. Slice the prosciutto. Cut each slice of prosciutto in half, lengthwise, so you now have 16 narrower slices.
4. Assemble. Place a green leaf and peach slice on top of a prosciutto slice. Wrap each wedge with the prosciutto and place on a serving dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
5. Make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and salt. Slowly add the oil while whisking thoroughly to combine. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully emulsified.
6. Serve. Drizzle the dressing over the prosciutto-wrapped peaches. Serve!
