Preparation
Place Canadian Empereur cheese slices and tomato slices on two plates.
Sprinkle tomatoes with a pinch of coarse sea salt; this will extract juice from tomatoes. Place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Shortly before serving, cut avocado into slices or large dice.
To serve, arrange avocado on plates and sprinkle with basil, tarragon or flat parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper. Serve at room temperature with crusty bread.

Tips
For a tastier salad, add a little balsamic vinegar and/or a few thin slices of red onion just before serving.
