Preparation

Reduced Balsamic: Combine vinegar, SPLENDA® Granulated, rosemary and prune juice in a non-aluminum pan; bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup. Remove and discard rosemary sprig. Cover and chill.

Fresh Mozzarella Biscuits: Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly spray a baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.

Combine the flour, SPLENDA® Granulated, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut margarine into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. Add chopped mozzarella and herbs; toss gently. Add milk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Using a large ice cream scoop, drop batter onto prepared pan.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.

Lemon Vinaigrette: Pour boiling water over lemon zest in a small bowl; steep 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Set aside.

Combine shallots, garlic, and the champagne vinegar in a small bowl. Gradually add oils and lemon juice, whisking to form an emulsion. Stir in zest, chives, and 2 tablespoons SPLENDA® Granulated. Salt and pepper to taste.

Salad Caprese: Toss arugula with 3 ounces lemon vinaigrette; arrange on a large platter around the outside.

Layer the slices of tomatoes and slices of warm Fresh Mozzarella Biscuits in the center of the platter.

Sprinkle with basil, olive oil and 2 teaspoons Reduced Balsamic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
