Oh hey. It’s me. Still eating ALL the Summer produce.

Won’t you join me? I hope you will. Because it’s still Summer ( = a bona fide fact). And because I know you’re really going to love this Prosciutto-Wrapped Peach and Arugula Salad. It would be a shame if you missed out on it because you were too busy opening a can of pumpkin.

Just saying.

I recently had some GORGEOUS peaches left over from a couple freelance projects (you can check them out here and here, if you want even more peach inspiration!), which prompted me to re-visit this salad recipe from the archives. And I’m so glad that I did. Because I kind of forgot about how brilliantly easy and delicious this recipe is. It’s essentially everyone’s favorite finger food – prosciutto-wrapped peaches – turned in a main meal type of salad situation. I place the prosciutto-wrapped peaches on top of a bed of arugula with some fresh mint, torn burrata cheese and the most basic of dressings/seasonings and BOOM. Done.

Just add a glass of white wine and you’re well on your way to late Summer dinner bliss.

If you haven’t made prosciutto-wrapped peaches before, don’t sweat it. Because they are super easy to pull together. The prosciutto kind of adheres to itself, so as long as you keep the strips long enough that the two ends meet and overlap slightly around the peach wedge, you’ll be good to go. After you practice wrapping one, I know you’ll get the hang of it! There are some loose measurement guides in the recipe below, which should help get you started.

If you make this salad, I’d love to hear about it. And see a photograph, too! So snap a picture and give me a shout out on social media!

Cheers,

  1. This dish reminds me of Italy. They love their prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe, and wrapping it around peaches sounds like a perfect summertime treat! Great recipe, Liz!

  2. I saw this on Whole Yum and thought it looked like one of your photos — awesome idea, Liz! I love that you made this into a salad, and it has to be perfect with that peppery arugula! 🙂

  3. How gorgeous is this salad!? I’ll take prosciutto wrapped everything, please! This salad sounds so refreshing and quick for weeknight dinners!

  4. I love the pop of color coming form the peaches and the cheese! Stunning 🙂

  5. Never have I ever had a prosciutto-wrapped peach and I want them allllll!! That ricotta + mint?! What a perfect salad!

  6. I just had melon and prosciutto, and now I definitely have to try the peach instead – sounds yummy!! 🙂

  7. This is my kind of salad! And I am sooo jealous that you have been able to get your hands on some good peaches already! I am going to keep my eye out for some at the farmers market this weekend. Can’t wait to make this salad!

  8. Yum! I just made a grilled peach salad and I need to grill these babies now. Grilled prosciutto wrapped peaches served over arugula. I can’t wait!

  9. I just bought something like five pounds of peaches at the store, I made a crisp, I’ve eaten them on their own, thrown them into Greek yogurt and I still have leftovers. If only I had prosciutto, I would wrap those leftover babies up. Looks delish!

  10. I have to try this! YUM!
