Salt
6 ounces red and yellow grape or cherry tomatoes, halved (1 cup)

In a separate bowl, combine the bocconcini, remaining 1 tablespoon basil, remaining 2 teaspoons oil.
Add onions to tomato/olive mix about 10 min before serving or in just those glasses who like the onion.
Fill 4 martini glasses with the tomato salad, bocconcini and onions.
