  3. If serving right away to 4 people, you can combine everything in a large bowl and toss with *most* of the dressing. (Make sure to shake dressing again before adding it to the salad.) All of it might be a little more than necessary so add to your liking. Then top with parsley if using. You can also allow everyone to assemble their own salad or save and prepare a salad as needed.
