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.
Keeping: A few hours at room temperature, without the dressing, and covered with plastic film.
