First, slice the cherry tomatoes (or baby plum) in half and add to a non stick pan with ½ tablespoon of olive oil, chopped garlic, thyme leaves, balsamic, salt and pepper
Saute the tomatoes on a medium heat, as they start to soften use a spatula or wooden spoon to lightly squash the tomatoes to create a sauce..
After around 7-8 minutes add the cannellini beans ( save 2 tablespoon of the cooking liquid from the can and add that too) cook the beans for around 3-5 minutes.
Once the beans have softened slightly turn off the heat and set aside for 2 minutes to cool. Add the arugula/rocket and mix through. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper then top with prosciutto, baby mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil and a few torn basil leaves.

Add your favourite salad leaves, good ones would be radicchio, chicory or spinach
Add vegetables such as zucchini (courgette) or bell peppers. Try adding shredded zucchini or raw zucchini ribbons.
Fresh or dried herbs such as fennel seeds, chili flakes, tarragon, parsley
You could even top with a poached or fried egg to turn it into a brunch
Leave out the prosciutto and enjoy as a side with pork chops, steak or roast chicken
Serve with crusty bread or char grilled ciabatta
