Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and red onion.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance flavors.
