STEP 1:

  

In a small blender, combine basil, Smart Balance® Cooking Oil, a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper. Blend until smooth.

STEP 2:

  

Slice the top and bottom off of the tomato and discard.
Cut the tomato into 3 equal slices and season tomato with a pinch of salt, keeping the tomato intact to assemble the same way it was cut.

STEP 3:

  

Create a tower by layering the tomato, mozzarella and
arugula, and repeat until the tower is formed. Top with more fresh cracked pepper, and drizzle with Smart Balance® Cooking Oil.
