Nectarine Chicken and Prosciutto Salad is a filling, refreshing salad with a light Honey Dressing – perfect for lunch or as a light dinner.
As with most kind of dishes, I have my top favorites. Breakfast, pasta, red meat and so on, I always have that one or two recipes I always know would be a favorite. Not only for me but which my family loves as well.
This Nectarine Chicken and Prosciutto Salad is one of them. I put this one straight in the filling, not too rich, light dinner, lunch group and can not tell you how many times I have made it to date.
Nectarines are of course a type of peach and very popular in South-Africa. Although I grew up knowing it by the Afrikaans name – Kaalgat Perskes, which might be rude to translate, verbatim, into English !
My favorite part of this filling salad ?? Absolutely everything !
The ingredients, fruity, meaty, cheesy and of course my much-loved-leafy-herb .. Arugula. By the way, I can eat a whole packet of Arugula by myself and try to always have some on hand.
Do you have a favorite kind of leafy herb, which is just always/usually in your fridge?
