If desired, you can emhem the tomatoes : cut a small cross at the bottom of each tomato and submerge them in boiling water for 10-20 seconds. Then move them to a bowl of cold water and peel off the skin.
Cut the tomatoes into slices or wedges with a tomato knife.
Arrange the tomato slices or wedges on a plate or platter.
Chop the onion finely or or into long strips. Spread over the tomatoes.

There are several herbs you can use to add variety to your tomato salad. Here are some classic and possible variations:

Basil: This herb is a classic choice for tomato salads due to its sweet and slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with the freshness of the tomatoes.
Parsley: Parsley adds a light and grassy flavor to the salad, which can be a nice contrast to the sweetness of the tomatoes.
Mint: Mint can add a fresh and aromatic touch to your tomato salad, which is especially refreshing in the summer.
Oregano: This is another classic herb that is often used in tomato dishes, thanks to its earthy and slightly tangy flavor.
Thyme: Thyme has a subtle, woody flavor that pairs well with the simplicity of the tomatoes and vinaigrette.
Tarragon: Tarragon has a slight anise flavor that can add an interesting twist to your tomato salad.
Cilantro: For a more citrusy and tangy flavor, cilantro can be a great option.
Rosemary: Rosemary has a strong, resinous flavor, so it’s best to use it sparingly.
