Ingredients

4 ripe peaches, sliced

4 oz prosciutto, sliced thinly

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and baby kale)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup candied pecans (or walnuts)

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Greens: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base of your salad.

Arrange Peaches and Prosciutto: Gently layer the sliced peaches evenly across the greens. Drape the prosciutto over the peaches, allowing some pieces to fall gracefully into the salad.

Add Cheese and Nuts: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and candied pecans over the top of the salad to add a creamy and crunchy texture.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients and avoid bruising the peaches.

Garnish: If desired, top your salad with fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of flavor and color.

Serve: Enjoy this refreshing salad as a light lunch or a side dish at your next gathering!
