Outstanding

For a bit of crunch, sauté the prosciutto in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for two minutes or until crisp.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 1/3 cups arugula mixture, 3 peach wedges, about 1/3 ounce prosciutto, 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic syrup, and 1 teaspoon cheese)

Ingredients

  • 1/4  cup  balsamic vinegar
  • 2  tablespoons  honey
  • 3  peaches, pitted and each cut into 6 wedges
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  tablespoon  extravirgin olive oil
  • 1/8  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • Dash of kosher salt
  • 10  cup  trimmed arugula (about 10 ounces)
  • 2  ounces  thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 2  tablespoons  crumbled goat cheese

Preparation

1. Bring vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer until vinegar is reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in honey. Cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare grill to high heat.

3. Place peach wedges on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 30 seconds on each side or until grill marks appear but peaches are still firm. Remove from grill; set aside.

4. Combine oil, pepper, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add arugula, tossing gently to coat. Arrange arugula mixture on a platter. Top with peach wedges and prosciutto. Drizzle with balsamic syrup; sprinkle with cheese.

I tried this last night and will make this for a dinner party. I made two small variations. First, I set aside some of the balsamic reduction to drizzle on top, and mixed the remaining with a little lemon juice for a lighter salad dressing. Secondly, I wrapped the peach slices in the prosciutto and then grilled them. (I do this with figs, too). That worked out well and makes a nice presentation.09/29/09
