Peach and Prosciutto Salad with Goats Cheese
Fresh, juicy peaches are part of the ‘fiesta’ of delicious soft fruits available to us in the summer months. There is nothing quite like biting into a fleshy, sweet peach and feeling the juice dribble down your chin!
This is a super summer salad – you can serve the peaches cold, or but for a different twist lightly grill them and serve warm with the goats cheese crumbled over the top. Very delicious and a lovely addition to a summer party or barbecue. Quite healthy too!

Tip: If you are going to grill the peaches, don’t place too near the grill – they will burn and possibly have an unpleasant taste.
