Don’t let summer go without grabbing some corn and peaches for this eaaaaaaasy salad! Grill up the peaches and corn with some crispy prosciutto, sprinkle on some tarragon and goat cheese, you're basically done! You can find cubed prosciutto in the grocery store, if not take slices and fry them up like bacon. Then crumble it over top, make sure to reserve any oil that it creates in the pan. Because you can add a squeeze of lemon, and a little olive oil to make a little extra “something” to finish the salad! Also, the flavor of the tarragon with really key, Basil would work well but it’s definitely going to be a different flavor profile if you will, so if you haven’t tried tarragon, now is the time! I’ll include a loose, recipe-ish below!

Husk your corn removing the outer part and the “silk.” Place on your grill for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from grill, let cool, then remove kernels, placing into a large bowl. To remove the kernels, slide a knife down the sides of the cob, the kernels should remove easily. Slice the peaches and toss with a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tbsp), 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper. I line a grill basket with foil, place the peaches on top and grill. As the peaches are grilling, work with the prosciutto. Heat a sauté pan over a medium flame, then add the prosciutto to the pan, sauté until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve. Remembering to reserve any drippings as well! Add the crispy prosciutto to the bowl with the corn kernels. Again season with kosher salt and pepper to taste, drizzle olive oil over top and toss. Add in half of the chopped tarragon and toss gently. Arrange the peaches on a platter, spoon corn salad over top. Top with goat cheese and remaining tarragon. In a small bowl add any pan drippings from the prosciutto, lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp olive oil, whisk together and spoon over top of the platter.
