Throwback Thursday, Summer Peach Salad
Like tomatoes and corn, fresh peaches really shine
in the Summer months
This roasted peach salad is a treat for lunch or a light dinner
Peaches, prosciutto, brown sugar, balsamic glaze,
pecans, butter and salad greens
Do you know the quick and easy way to peel peaches?
Drop them in boiling water for 1 minute,
then the peel pretty much just slides off
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits
Fill cavities with chopped pecans,
dot with butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar
That might sound a little decadent, but you really can’t fit much in there!
If you want to keep it light, you can skip the filling
Put the peaches on a foil lined pan
and top with a slice of prosciutto, tucking ends under
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes,
until hot and prosciutto gets crisp
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

Salted, sweet and tangy…this is a perfect summer salad!
Thank you Angie, I love summer peaches~
Sounds fancy! Peaches are starting to look good at the local stores here too:@)
Thanks Lynn!
This looks really enticing! Yum!
Thanks Dorothy 🍑
Now I really can’t wait for peach season and the vinegar and vinaigrette recipe is a fabulous idea.
Thanks Bernadette!
Jenna, this looks delicious. I love a sweet, juicy peach from Chilton County 🍑🍑🍑
Happy Thursday!
Yes, Chilton County peaches are the best!
Oh, yum! Love my peaches!
Me too, thanks Jeanie!
Jenna, this salad is perfect for peach season!
Thank you Elizabeth, I hope you try it and enjoy!
Being from the PEACH STATE, I do love a good peach recipe! These all look good, so will give one or two a whirl.
Sorry I have been out of touch a bit, but all is well after a huge tree fell in my back yard, the one next to it had to be taken down; while they were here removing that one, a Mimosa tree fell in the front yard, across the power lines. After that was taken care of my brakes were in need of repair! All is good now so a great recipe seems like just the ticket.
Well hello Georgia Gal! So sorry about your trees and brakes, it’s rough when everything hits at the same time. I hope now you can relax and enjoy summer {except for all the crazy weather we’ve been having in the South!} We have great peaches in Bama too, enjoy them while we can!
Mmmmmmm! LOVE peaches! Love prosciutto too, so WIN!! Thanks – I’ll be trying this soon!
Thanks Barbara, I hope you enjoy!
What a fun summery combination! I can’t wait to add this salad to my meal rotation! Thank you!
Thank you Laura, I hope you love it!
I grew up at the GA/TN boundary line and so I appreciate a good peach. They can be so disappointing outside of the South. Your recipe is so creative and sounds delicious!
Oh Linda, I’m so sorry you can’t get good peaches where you live now, Southern peaches are the best!
Sounds so yummy Jenna! We love balsamic glaze on peaches and tomatoes. Happy Friday ♥
Thanks Mary, it’s a great combo 🙂 🍑
This looks amazing, delicious and so very peachy!
Thank you, it’s a delightful salad!
Oh, this is really different and sounds absolutely perfect for lunch. Love the idea of the peaches with the prosciutto with the balsamic glaze. And the orange marmalade vinaigrette sounds delicious. Yum. Happy Monday!
Thank you Kim, it is a delightful combo!
