This salad is what mid summer salad dreams are made of.
Which by the way, can you believe we are already half way through summer??
They already have all the back to school stuff out at Target, and while I do love back to school supplies, new clothes and all that other stuff, the thought of summer being over is so sad. It will be fall before we know it and I’ll probably be telling you all about apple dishes galore, but until then, I am gonna continue on my peach craze.
Which means peaches this week, peaches next week and probably more peaches after that too. I figure I’ve got to use em well I have them around.
I also need to eat all the cherries before they are gone.
I swear I’ll be broke by the end of cherry season. Either that or my lips will be permanently stained red.
My mom? She has this thing I like to call the “chocolate lip liner”. The “chocolate lip liner” is really just the leftover melted chocolate that lines your lips after a warm chocolate chip cookie. She pretty much has those all the time. Growing up I’d try to alert her and say “mom, you have some chocolate lip liner on those lips again”.
But now I am the one with the lip liner, only mine is from too many cherries… and I look like a freak.
Anyway, I have combined so many of my favorite things into one super simple salad.
First, the crepes. They are the carby part to this salad. I wanted this salad to be hearty and not sweet, so I went with buckwheat flour. Normally I am all about crepes being light, but for this salad the buckwheat crepes work perfectly.
The crepes are the hardest part to this salad, but they are not even hard. Just be ok with your first crêpe being a dud and then move on. You’ll get the hang of it.
The rest is simple. We are caramelizing peaches by brushing them with balsamic glaze and then grilling them. It’s maybe the best thing ever. So sweet, but when paired with the gorgonzola they become savory and makes for salad perfection.
The rest of the ingredients get tossed together and then stuffed into the crepes. Sprinkle with a lot of gorgonzola and a really generous drizzle of honey.
Don’t skip the honey, it makes all the difference.
Oh and can I just say that I am loving prosciutto right now? I used it the other week, only I did it crispy. For this salad I left it cold and you guys it’s awesome. The saltiness is the perfect touch paired with the sweet peaches, gorgonzola and honey.
And umm, yes, those are some eggs you see up there. I am pretty sure that in my mind no salad is complete without some eggs.
Eggs make food better and if you leave them runny they create a nice sauce for any dish.
Jeez, I sound like an egg nerd. It’s the chickens. They have me way too excited for their fresh eggs!

So much color and flavor. Yeah!! Exited? Oh, yes.
Your salad looks so beautiful- Could you tell us did you use sweet cherries or bittersweet cherries (different species)?
Hi Victoria! I like to use a sweet cherry for this salad. Mine where bing cherries. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
This is topping the list of one of the first things I’m making post pregnancy! Soft cheese, cured meats, runny eggs….feels like a complete indulgence! Looks amazing.
This is absolute insanity. What a beautifully crafted mix!
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness these toppings would be so amazing on a pizza!
Oh my gosh, they so would! Thanks Lucy!
