Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, sliced

6 oz thinly sliced prosciutto

4 cups mixed salad greens (baby spinach, arugula, and frisée work well)

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup toasted walnuts or pecans

¼ cup balsamic glaze

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the ingredients: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly, removing the pits, and slicing them into wedges. If you prefer, you can peel the peaches, though it is not necessary.

    Arrange the greens: In a large salad bowl or platter, layer the mixed salad greens as the base.

      Add the peaches and prosciutto: Artwork the peach slices on top of the greens, and then add the prosciutto. You can tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly.

        Sprinkle feta and nuts: Evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese over the salad, and finish off by adding the toasted walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch.

          Dress the salad: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. Toss everything gently to combine and ensure the dressing coats the salad ingredients. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

            Garnish and serve: Optionally, tear some fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top for added aroma and flavor. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
