Ingredients
Preparation
First, we wash the arugula thoroughly, spin it dry, and place it as the first layer in a nice, large glass.
Now we cut the cherry tomatoes into fine halves and carefully distribute them on top of the arugula.
In the next step, we add the mini mozzarella. A little tip from me: if you halve the mozzarella pearls, it looks even prettier in the glass!
For the dressing, mix the olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, green pesto, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a fine emulsion.
Now pour the dressing over the salad in the glass. But be careful, don't purr too loudly with joy, we're almost done!
Finally, lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan without fat until they are fragrant, and sprinkle them on top as a crunchy topping.
