Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Salad with Israeli Couscous
We are savoring the last bits of sweet summer peaches by grilling them to intensify their flavor. The saltiness of prosciutto di Parma and the peppery bite of arugula is the perfect balance of flavors. Great as a side dish or as a light meal.
