Notes
- This recipe can work with apricots as well.
- Make sure the peaches are ripe so they taste great but still firm. If they're over-ripe, they will be much too soft and hard to handle.
- You can also use green leaf lettuce and cut each leaf into smaller pieces.
- The softer the lettuce, the easier it is to roll up. Stiff lettuce can end up tearing the prosciutto as you're wrapping it around the peach.
- Prosciutto can be quite delicate so be careful when slicing it. The good thing is, it also sticks well so if it tears a bit, you will still be able to roll it up around the peach wedge with no problem.
- You can make this appetizer up to a couple of hours in advance if you don't mind serving it chilled. It tastes great with both warm and chilled peaches.
- Leftovers need to be covered well and can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- The vinaigrette can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before serving.
