Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

8 slices of prosciutto

4 cups arugula or mixed greens

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup roasted pecans (or walnuts)

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F but will vary by grill type).

    Prepare Peaches: Brush the cut sides of the peach halves lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Grill Peaches: Place the peach halves face down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches are warmed through and slightly softened. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.

        Prepare Greens: In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula or mixed greens, crumbled feta cheese, and roasted pecans.

          Wrap Peaches: Once the peaches are cool enough to handle, wrap each half with a slice of prosciutto and lightly place in the salad bowl.

            Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic glaze and the remaining olive oil over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and ensure the dressing evenly coats the greens.

              Garnish and Serve: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy this beautiful blend of flavors!
