As I was writing this post, I was trying to come up with a good catchy name for this ultimate summer salad.
Thoughts,”Do people know what panzanella is?”
“Will they get that it’s a salad?”
“Should I throw the word salad in there somewhere?”
“The prosciutto wrapped peaches are grilled― should THAT be in the title too?”
At this point, I’ve decided to just go for it: Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Peach Panzanella Salad.
Since we’re here, panzanella is just an eloquent word for bread salad. In this case, it’s buttery, grilled bread, roughly torn and tossed into the most flavorful salad EVER!

PinDescription
Light and delicious summer salad with grilled prosciutto-wrapped peaches, sweet blueberries, crumbled feta, grilled sourdough and charred corn.
Ingredients
- 3 Peaches, sliced
- 6 pieces of prosciutto
- 4 slices of thick sourdough
- 2 ears of corn*
- 3-4 C arugula + spinach
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 C cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 C blueberries
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4- 1/3 C of feta
- olive oil (for bread slices)
Balsamic Vinaigrette (based of recipe from TheKitchn.com)
- 1/2 C olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt + 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Add ears of corn to the grill; they will take the longest to cook ~20 mins.
- Prepare the prosciutto wrapped peaches: tear the prosciutto into manageable strips and wrap around the peach slices tightly. thread each peach slice onto a skewer.
- Brush the slices of thick sourdough with olive oil.
- Make sure your other salad ingredients are prepped and ready. I.e. spinach washed, tomatoes halved, blueberries cleaned, etc.
- Mix up balsamic vinaigrette: Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon, honey, salt and pepper to a mason jar and shake vigorously or whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add the wrapped peach skewers to the grill. The prosciutto will start to crisp up. ~6 minutes.
- Add sourdough bread slices to the grill. Don’t let them burn! Tear into rough 1-2 inch pieces.
- Assemble the salad: Add the spinach and arugula to a large salad bowl. Build it up with corn cut off the cob, halved cherry tomatoes, blueberries, red onion, feta, and diced avocado. Place the prosciutto wrapped peach slices on top with the torn bread and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.
Notes
You could use frozen or canned corn as well. Just warm it up in the microwave or a skillet.
