Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz (115g) fresh mozzarella pearls
  • 1/4 cup (10g) fresh basil leaves, torn by hand
  • 1/4 cup (15g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) honey
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Halve them lengthwise using a paring knife. Slice the red onion into paper-thin half-moons.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil until the mixture looks glossy and slightly thickened.
  3. Place the halved tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and sliced onions in a large bowl.
  4. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and gently fold with a spoon. Add the torn basil leaves last, tossing one final time to distribute the greens.
