We are big fans of adding fruit to salads. The sweetness makes a lovely contrast to the savoury flavours, and here peaches work really well with the prosciutto. Bring the prosciutto to room temperature before serving to get the full flavour and, if you feel like it, you can add torn mozzarella to the salad, too.
