This salad looks fancy schmancy but is a snap to make

Peel fresh ripe peaches [drop in boiling water for 1 minute for easing peeling] and cut in half. Remove pits

Fill cavities with chopped pecans, dot with butter, about 1/4 of a pat, and sprinkle with brown sugar

That might sound a little decadent, but you really can’t fit much in there!

Top with a prosciutto blanket, you know, a thin slice~

Place peaches on a foil lined baking sheet and pop in the oven at 400 for about 10-15 minutes, until hot and prosciutto has crisped. You could also cook these on the grill on a piece of foil. Cooking time will depend on grill temperature, just watch carefully until desired doneness

Serve on a bed of greens, such as fresh spinach and romaine lettuce and drizzle with balsamic glaze

I tossed my greens with a touch of Orange Marmalade Vinaigrette before adding peaches
