Print Recipe

A light and simple salad combining juicy peaches, salty prosciutto, and peppery arugula, all brought together with a sweet and tangy honey vinaigrette. Perfect for a quick, fresh summer meal or side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch or 6 mm slices)
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 cups fresh arugula, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: shaved Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry peaches. Slice thinly about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.
  2. Lay out prosciutto slices on a cutting board and fold loosely into halves or thirds to create delicate ribbons.
  3. Wash and dry arugula thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until creamy and emulsified.
  5. In a large salad bowl, combine arugula and peach slices. Drizzle half the honey vinaigrette over and toss gently to coat without bruising.
  6. Arrange prosciutto ribbons on top of the salad. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over the prosciutto.
  7. If desired, sprinkle shaved Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, or fresh basil leaves as garnish.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors. If needed, refrigerate and dress just before serving.

Notes

Use peaches that are firm but slightly yielding to avoid mushy slices. Fold prosciutto by hand to preserve texture. Dress salad just before serving to prevent wilting. If honey is crystallized, warm slightly before mixing. Add garnishes like Parmesan or pine nuts for extra flavor and texture.
