Step 1
Place the tomatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, toss gently and then set aside for 5 minutes to soften.
Step 2
Meanwhile, make a vinaigrette by whisking the vinegar and mustard together in a small bowl with a little salt and pepper. Keep whisking while slowly drizzling in the olive oil.
Step 3
Add the vinaigrette to the tomatoes and gently toss to coat. Tear or chop the herbs, then add half to the tomatoes and mix through.
Step 4
Place the tomatoes on platter, scatter with the rest of the herbs and the chive flowers, if using, and top with small dollops of ricotta.
