Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, sliced

4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto

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

1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the salad greens thoroughly and drying them with a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel. Slice the peaches into wedges and set aside.

    Toast the Nuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts or pecans. Toast for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove and let them cool.

      Combine the Salad: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens. Layer the peach slices and rolled prosciutto over the greens.

        Add Cheese and Nuts: Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and toasted nuts evenly over the top.

          Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle this dressing over the salad just before serving.

            Garnish and Serve: Toss the salad gently to combine all the flavors, or leave it as is for a more elegant presentation. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
