Whisk in the olive oil, and taste for balance and seasoning.

Spread the slices out on a cutting board or platter, and season them with the fleur de sel and some pepper.

10
Slice the cheese into 1/4-inch-thick slabs.
11
Arrange half the tomatoes overlapping on a large chilled platter.
12
Tuck half the onions and half the Roquefort in and around the tomatoes.
