The Citrus Crunch Mini Chopped Salad is a bright, happy salad with diced almonds and a tangy lemon vinaigrette. But top that with delectable grilled peaches, sliced prosciutto, and mozzarella, and you have a special occasion salad for one.
Whether you’re celebrating a beautiful day or just treating yourself to a flavorful lunch fit for a restaurant menu, you deserve it. Don’t save the prosciutto or grilled peaches for a crowd anymore. Enjoy these surprise salad toppings with a helping of creamy mozzarella ciliegina pearls on this crisp salad.
Ingredients
- 1 Taylor Farms Citrus Crunch Mini Chopped Salad Kit
- 1 peach, sliced in half, pit removed
- 4-6 slices of prosciutto
- 8-10 mozzarella ciliegine pearls
Directions
- Prepare the Citrus Crunch Mini Chopped Salad Kit according to the package instructions.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush the peach halves with a little olive oil. Place the peach halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, until grill marks appear and the peaches soften slightly. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
- Tear or slice the prosciutto into smaller pieces.
- 4. Combine the prepared Citrus Crunch Chopped Salad with the sliced grilled peaches, prosciutto, and mozzarella ciliegine pearls. Gently toss everything together to distribute the ingredients evenly.
What exactly is mozzarella ciliegine? As you may know, mozzarella is often formed into softball-sized balls. And just like our mini chopped kits are the smaller versions of their full-size counterparts, this is the mini version of those softball-sized cheeses. Ciliegine comes from the Italian word for “cherry” and these are just as cute and flavorful. So toss a bunch onto this marvelous salad for some chewy, creamy goodness.
If you’re nervous about grilling the peaches, don’t be. You can use tinfoil on the grilling surface, if you like, but the olive oil should help protect the delicate peaches from sticking to the grill. Grilling the peaches not only heats them slightly, it brings out a slightly bolder flavor that will make this salad your new favorite.
