Prepare the arugula and arrange it on a suitable flat platter. Wash the cherry or cocktail tomatoes. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh from the skin in small pieces using a teaspoon. Arrange the tomatoes and avocado pieces on the lettuce leaves. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with a little salad seasoning. Tear the Parma or Serrano ham into small pieces and arrange it on the salad. Mix 1-2 tablespoons each of balsamic vinegar with equal parts olive oil and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the salad with a spoon. Chop the basil leaves, if desired, and garnish the salad with them. Note: The quantities above are only a guideline. Simply use as much as you need depending on the number of people or appetite. The important thing is that the dressing ingredients are mixed in equal parts. Of course, you can also prepare this dish with other leaf salads—just give it a try.
