1. Press the garlic through a garlic press. Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Let the dressing infuse for 10 minutes, then strain.
2. Wash and dry the arugula, cut the tomatoes in half, and slice the onion into thin strips. Combine all these with the dressing.
