Grilled Prosciutto Peach Salad

Before I unleash the deluge of Autumn recipes, I wanted to sneak in one last recipe utilizing Summer produce. We still have a few vendors selling peaches at our Farmer's market, and although I'm thrilled to see pumpkins and apples popping up, I will miss these succulent stone fruits when they hibernate until next year.

This is our favorite go-to salad when I'm in a pinch. I love the combination of salt and sweet and it's really simple to make when you're already grilling meat for dinner. The proscuitto wrapped peaches also make a great appetizer all on their own!
