Method

Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and sugar in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes, then drain (reserve vinegar). Arrange the tomato slices on a platter and top with the shallots and caperberries.
In a bowl, whisk the reserved sherry vinegar with the olive oil and thyme, then season with salt and pepper. Put the rocket in another large bowl and toss with a spoonful of the dressing, then arrange over the tomatoes. Drizzle over the rest of the dressing and finish with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Put the tomatoes, shallots and caperberries in a large airtight container. Keep
the dressing in a small sealed pot and pack the rocket in its bag. Drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes and top with the rocket just before serving.
