š” Pro Tips
To ensure the peaches caramelize evenly, brush them with a little bit of olive oil before grilling. To prevent the prosciutto from becoming too crispy, add it to the salad just before serving. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the salad just before serving.
