Insalate con Peche

This salad is the perfect summer salad for easy entertaining.  It can be thrown together quickly and is delicious every time.  The peaches add the sweet, the prosciutto adds the salty, and the mozzarella cheese adds that smooth, creamy element that ties it all together.  Throw together an easy lemon vinaigrette that you can drizzle over top at the last minute and you're ready to serve it alongside your main dish.

Insalate con Peche

1 (6 oz.) package spring greens mix

1 small ball fresh mozzarella, sliced

2 large, fresh, ripe peaches, peeled and thinly sliced

4 oz. thinly slice prosciutto

1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 c. fresh lemon juice (approx. 1 lemon)

Place the greens on a large serving platter.  Top with mozzarella, prosciutto and peaches.  Play around with the placement of the toppings.  I like to cut thin slices of mozzarella and make little pockets of prosciutto.

Mix together the olive oil and fresh lemon juice until you've created an emulsification.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Drizzle dressing over top before serving.
