We made this on August 9, 2014, using list of ingredients from one we bought pre-prepared from Trader Joe's. We liked how it turned out so thought we'd write it down. Amounts are approximate. If we'd had fresh herbs (cilantro and parsley) we'd have used those. Of course, it's great left over.

Instructions
Mix the non-optional ingredients together in large bowl.
Chill, if you have time.
If you are adding the optional ingredients, add them to the individual salads at serving time. (Salad will keep better that way.)
Variations (we haven't tried these yet, but intend to):
Use fresh herbs (in much larger amounts than the dried herbs).
Squeeze in some lemon or lime juice.
Experiments with different types and ratios of vinegar and oil.
