Stage 3 - 10 min.

Sprinkle the tomatoes with table salt and leave for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Add 30 g shallot (finely chopped), herbs of your choice and 5 tablespoons French dressing (vinaigrette).

Stage 5
If you will not be serving the salad right away, do not refrigerate it, just cover and leave at room temperature.
Remarks
Please don't store your tomatoes in the fridge - they really don't like it and it spoils the flavour. If they are already in there, take them out the day before and leave them to come to room temperature.
