7 firm-ripe peaches, rinsed
3 Tbsp honey
2 (5-inch) fresh thyme sprigs, rinsed
2 cups water
4 Tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil

Boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes; pour through a fine strainer into a glass measure. Let syrup cool about 10 minutes.
- Whisk lemon juice into syrup; slowly pour in oil, whisking until emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice remaining peaches and combine in a large bowl with endive, chives and shallot. Gently mix in dressing.
- Divide salad among 6 plates. Drape prosciutto equally over servings and sprinkle with thyme leaves, mixed greens and almonds.
