Every week I try to cook something that makes it seem like I have my life together, so I knew I had to try a prosciutto-wrapped peach and goat cheese salad. Since I will eat or make anything that combines salty and sweet, I couldn't wait.
It didn't take long, only about 15 minutes to prepare. While the peaches/prosciutto are "grilling" (I don't have a grill so I just used a pan, but ideally this would be on a grill) you can assemble the spinach/arugula salad mix and put on whatever toppings you'd like. I used goat cheese here, and I also recommend avocado.
As for the dressing, I usually try and make my own vinaigrettes. For this one I drizzled balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey over everything. I highly recommend homemade dressing, but if that's not your thing, store-bought balsamic vinaigrette also works well.

Step 1
Take a slice of prosciutto and rip it in half lengthwise. Roll the prosciutto around a peach slice. Do this for as many slices as you want.
#SpoonTip: To cut back on calories/fat/sodium, use only one slice of prosciutto, ripped into 4 pieces. Prosciutto is flavorful enough that less gives the same flavor.
