Peel the onions, rinse well, and boil for 5 minutes. (More than that. and they tend to disintegrate). Rinse again under cold water and leave to cool somewhat. They don't have to be cold when you use them.

Prepare the mozzarella -- draining and drying, or cutting into neat chunks.

4
Rinse and dry the small tomatoes.

Put the cooled onions, the mozzarella pieces and the tomatoes in a small bowl. If your pesto is quite thick, mix in the olive oil to thin. Gently fold in the pesto with a spoon to coat the cheese, onions and small tomatoes.

6
Arrange either arugula lettuce leaves on plates. Drizzle each little heap with some vinaigrette.

Put on each skewer tomatoes, pieces of mozzarella, folded ham slices and onions. (See photo's -- use as it suits you). For delicate presentation, use fewer ingredients on a skewer. For a side dish at a BBQ, use longer skewers and more ingredients.

**When taking the photograph I did not have ham, and fried some bacon, but it's not as delicate as a very good ham.
