This is one of those incredibly tasty but also incredibly easy meals that exemplifies all things summer. It is also one of those recipes that you have, have, HAVE to find the best quality ingredients money can buy. The whole point of simplistic recipes is to let the pureness of the whole ingredients shine.
This might be my new favorite summer meal for this reason.
And there is warmed goat cheese.
Let’s just pause to let that concept sink in…
Warmed. Goat. Cheese. Gah!
Awww yessss…
This salad started out in concept as an homage to the Italian melon and prosciutto appetizer that is a classic on many Tuscan menus. I’m not going to lie though.. cantaloupe just isn’t my thing. And the market had these amazing peaches. And in my little mind you just can’t possibly go wrong with juicy in-season peaches.
Especially when paired with salty, tangy, thinly sliced prosciutto.
I could eat that all day long…
(And let’s be honest, that’s definitely what I did.)
Incidentally, even though Dave and I just ate this for a “for-two” weekend meal, I think a larger portion of the Peach and Prosciutto Salad would make a beautiful presentation for a family-style dinner party. Clearly I was obsessed with how this meal looked because I couldn’t stop taking photos…
(And clearly couldn’t refrain from putting them all on the internet).
So cheers to a simple post, simple recipe, and the beautiful, fresh ingredients of summer. Hope you enjoy!
Peach and Prosciutto Salad
Ingredients
Instructions
So simple, so delicious! I love fruit in savory salads!
Yes! Me too! 🙂
Warm goat’s cheese? You have just changed my life! 😀
OMG it will be your new favorite thing, trust me!!
MMMMM! Warm goat cheese! I don’t know if I have actually had it warmed before on a salad but I bet it is delicious. Love all of the flavors and of course in season peaches, you could say no! Just pinned on to my sensational salads board!
You definitely need to try the warmed goat cheese idea- I’ve had it on salads a few times and it makes it just perfect… and goes well with arugula because it holds up without getting too wilty. Anyway. Thanks for the share!! 🙂
This looks amazing! I’m not mad about all the photos at all, other than the fact that I can’t eat photos! Must try this one 🙂
Yes! I think you’ll like it for sure 🙂
Simple is definitely best at this time of year. I feel like I’ve been craving simple salads like this all summer!
I LOVVVVEEE prosciutto but not so much w/cantaloupe. Have you tried it w/mango? To.die.for. Almost as good as this salad looks! Seriously swooning over your pics and these super simple but incredible ingredients. And the WARM goat cheese? Over the top! Pinned!
Ha! I wouldn’t have been able to stop taking photos either! It is beautiful. And I got even more excited when I read that the cheese was goat! I assumed it was burrata, which is just okay for me. goat is better!!! love it!
Ahhh! Thanks Mimi! Goat cheese really is the best cheese…
Here, here to simple recipes! All the flavors in this salad are absolutely divine. Now if only I can find some decent peaches. Sadly the peaches at my local Whole Foods were hard as rocks!
Oh no!! That’s literally the most upsetting experience… I can’t deal with delayed gratification. Thanks for stopping by the blog by the way! 🙂
Such a fun combo of flavors here! Love salads with fruit! Great way to eat healthy.
