Peach Prosciutto & Gorgonzola Salad
Share
There are some salads that feel a little more like a platter you’d happily set out for guests, and this Peach Prosciutto & Gorgonzola Salad is exactly that kind of recipe.
It’s fresh, a little salty, a little sweet, and full of those beautiful contrasts that make every bite interesting. Juicy peaches, delicate prosciutto, peppery greens, and crumbled Gorgonzola all come together with a glossy drizzle made from Peach White Balsamic Vinegar and Franklin Raw Honey.
I love recipes like this because they feel elegant without being fussy. The peaches bring natural sweetness, the prosciutto adds that lovely savory bite, and the Gorgonzola gives the salad just enough richness to make it feel special.
The finishing touch is what really ties it all together. Reducing the Peach White Balsamic with a little honey creates a syrupy drizzle that adds brightness and depth without overpowering the fresh ingredients. Then a bit of Herbes de Provence Olive Oil on the greens brings a soft herbal note that works beautifully with the peaches and cheese.
This is the kind of salad I’d serve for a summer lunch, a light dinner, or as part of a beautiful brunch or entertaining spread. It looks lovely on the table and tastes even better than it looks.
Simple ingredients, beautiful flavor, and one of those salads that always feels just a little special.
