- Grilled peaches: For a smoky flavor, grill peach halves until light grill marks appear. Allow to cool completely before adding to the salad to prevent melting the cheese.
- Vegetarian option: Omit the prosciutto or substitute with regular cooked bacon.
- Presentation tip: Transfer balsamic glaze to a squirt bottle with a narrow tip for decorative drizzle lines.
