  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel the red onion and slice in half. Slice the halves into thin julienne pieces (matchsticks).

  2. 2

    Make the Dressing

    Pour balsamic vinegar in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Bring the heat to a boil without reducing the heat on the stove then lower heat so that the boil reduces to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the vinegar has reduced by at least half. Don't try to increase the heat, unless you want to be left with a stiff, hardened mess.

  3. 3

    Compose the Ingredients

    Compose the salad by placing the mozzarella balls and heirloom cherry tomatoes in a straight line across the plate.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    When the mozzarella balls and heirloom cherry tomatoes are composed on the plate in a line, top with baby arugula, red onion, and fresh basil leaves. Dress the plate with the balsamic reduction. Small dots are simple and beautiful!
