Butter the ciabatta. Cover the base with 2 salami slices, then the cheese, basil and rocket. Top with the final 2 salami slices. Add the top half of the bread, halve and wrap in baking paper. Put in a lunchbox with the tomatoes.
Combine the dressing ingredients in a small portable container; seal. Use to dress the tomatoes before eating.
