Dice the tomatoes. Peel the bell peppers with a peeler, cut in strips then dice. Remove the core of the courgette and dice the green part very fine, slice the celery as well.

Put everything in a bowl, dress the vegetables with two tbsp Balsamic Vinegar from Modena PGI, four tbsp oil, soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Flavour with some grated lemon zest, then add the arugula chopped.

Using a round mould, prepare the vegetable tartare: prepare 3 small bases on each plate, then add some baby lettuce leaves, and top with a mozzarella ball. Sprinkle with the chia seeds.

Finish with a drizzle of oil and as much Balsamic Vinegar from Modena PGI as you like.
