Stage 4 - 2 min.

Pour the croutons into a bowl, then pour over the tomatoes that you will have sprinkled with fine salt just before.

Do not mix immediately, let the juice of the tomatoes, salted, go down on the croutons.

Meanwhile, prepare and chop 1 shallot.

Coarsely chop the parsley.

Remarks
Instead of a shallot in step 5, you can use a red onion.

Do not hesitate to use stale bread to make the croutons, it is completely in the spirit of the recipe, even if they are a little dry, they will be softened by the tomato juice.
