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