This easy peasy Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad is a delicious combination of sweet and juicy peaches, salty prosciutto, creamy mozzarella, little pops of heat from the chillies, and the freshness of the zingy mint and lime dressing. It makes a great dinner party starter, simple lunch or light supper.
A quick and easy peach salad
This delicious Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad is so easy to make. Start by making the quick dressing by combining the chopped mint, lime juice, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small jug and stirring to mix everything. Next, divide the salad leaves between 4 plates, arrange the prosciutto, mozzarella and peach slices on top and drizzle over the mint and lime dressing. Scatter over a few slices of chilli and serve.
Alternatively you can serve this salad on one large serving platter – great for a bit of a wow factor!
The perfect dinner party starter
This Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad is the perfect stress-free dinner party starter – it only takes 10 minutes to assemble, involves no cooking at all… but looks really impressive!
Alternatively, this quick and easy salad works really well as a simple lunch or light supper.
What to serve with Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad?
This salad is surprisingly filling on its own. But if you want to make it more substantial, you could simply serve it with some crusty white bread and/or new potatoes.
What to drink with Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad?
Most of the ingredients in this salad are very wine friendly. The trickiest one is the peaches. For this reason, I recommend you choose a fruity unoaked Chardonnay or Viognier – from somewhere like the South of France, New Zealand or Chile.
What to do with leftover Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad?
This is a salad that works best served fresh. But if you do end up with leftovers, I recommend you refrigerate the leftovers and eat them the next day – it would make an impressive packed lunch! (Ideally keep the dressing and the salad leaves separate, as otherwise the salad leaves tend to go a little soggy.)
Can you freeze Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Salad?
No, this salad is not suitable for freezing.
