1/2 packed cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
Instructions
Finely grate 1 large garlic clove into a large bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes, 4 ounces drained fresh mozzarella cheese pearls, and 1/4 cup finely diced red onion. Gently toss until combined and some of the tomato juices have begun to release into the dressing. Taste and season with more kosher salt, black pepper, and up to 1 1/2 teaspoons more red wine vinegar as needed.
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves and toss until just evenly distributed. Garnish with more chopped basil leaves.
