Steps:
- Make the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil and balsamic with the mustard and 1 tablespoon cool water in a bowl. Set aside.
- Make the salad: Place the tomatoes on a flat surface. Cut the smaller ones in half and the larger ones into slices or wedges. Arrange all the tomatoes and cherries in a single layer, flesh-side up, on a large serving platter or individual plates. Sprinkle them with the sugar.
- "Herb" the mozzarella: Use a pair of scissors to coarsely cut the tarragon, basil and parsley into pieces and toss in a medium bowl with the Parmesan, olive oil and a pinch of salt. The herbs should feel slightly dampened and sticky from the olive oil. If not, add more olive oil by the tablespoon as needed. Press both sides of the mozzarella slices into the herb mix to coat them, then intersperse the cheese pieces amongst the tomatoes on the serving platter or plates.
- Season the dish with salt and spoon all the dressing over the tomatoes and cheese.
