This Prosciutto and peach salad will leave your party guests running to come back to your house for get together's! this is one of the easiest, "fancy" dishes you can serve and it truly has a "wow" factor.
Every Monday, I watch The Bachelor with one of my girlfriends - I am always trying to come up with new and fun recipes to try when she comes over. I've eaten some type of version of this salad before at restaurants and at parties, but I wanted to put my own spin on it in preparation for Bachelor Night (we are so desperate for girl time and reality TV we have been getting together for the Bachelor: Greatest Seasons). To make my salad stand out, I decided to crisp the prosciutto and grill the peaches, along with adding some cayenne and honey to the peaches for a little sweet & spice balance. It turned out fantastic, and has become a go-to party dish!

Below I have added an ingredient list, along with the steps to make this super easy salad. Best of all it is gluten free! I would not suggest going vegan or vegetarian on this dish :) This dish serves 4-6.
Ingredients:
* 2 bags of arugula
* 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
* 3 peaches, pitted, and sliced up
* 1 large ball of fresh burrata
* 1 tbsp of cayenne pepper
* 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
* 1/4 c of balsamic vinegar
* Drizzle of honey
* Sea salt & pepper
--- Cooking Steps ---
Take your arugula out of the bag, rinse off and pat dry. Once dry, add to a large mixing bowl, along with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Toss the arugula until all the leaves have been mixed up with the oil. Make sure you do not over saturate - arugula tends to get very gooey if too saturated.
Cut your peaches in half and take the pits out - slice into 1 inch slivers. Once cut, cover the peaches with some olive oil and then cayenne, and add to a cast iron pan. Drizzle with a small amount of honey. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway so both side get a pit of char. Once done, set aside.
Pre-heat the oven to 375. Roll your prosciutto into small pieces, and add to the oven once it is heated. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until properly crisp. Set aside.
Take out your burrata ball, and slice into small pieces. Cover each piece with Italian seasoning.
Set arugula out on a large flat tray, then add the peaches, prosciutto and burrata, and then drizzle balsamic over top and serve! Make sure to not prepare ahead of time - you don't want anything to get soggy before guests come!
